9.3 LOCATING THE START OF ALARM RECORDINGS
The VCR automatically inserts an index signal at the beginning of each alarm re- cording, so the start of each alarm can be located.

2.Turn the JOG dial to display the number
3.Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right (forward direction) or left (reverse direc- tion). The index number will decrease as each index signal passes. (The in- dex signal may be hard to find in some recording conditions.)
