USING INDEX SEARCH

Your VCR has the VHS Index Search System. Each time you start recording, the VCR auto- matically marks the tape with an index mark at that location. You can locate the recording you want to play or skip the recording(s) you don’t want to watch by either entering the number of index marks or by scanning. The VCR search- es forward or backward from the current loca- tion.

Notes:

Since the VCR does not display the index marks, we recommend you list the record- ings on each tape in order on the tape’s box, to make it easier to locate a particular recording on the tape.

Index search might not function properly when two or more index marks are close to each other.

If you do not press any button within 10 seconds after you select INDEX, the VCR cancels index search mode.

If you activate the direct access index search at a tape position very close to an index mark, the VCR might not count that mark. See “Direct Access Index Search.”

Recording over an index mark erases that index mark.

For example, if the tape is at the second re- cording (index mark 2) and you want to watch the seventh recording (at index mark 7), enter 5 to skip past index marks 3 through 6. Or, if the tape is at index mark 9 and you want to watch the recording at index mark 3, enter 7 to skip past index marks 9 through 4.

Then press FAST-Fto skip forward to that index mark or REW to skip backward. When the tape reaches the selected index mark, the VCR starts normal playback.

Index Scan

While the VCR is stopped or playing a tape, press INDEX. INDEX appears. Then press FAST-For REW to start the scan. AUTO INDEX SEARCH appears and the VCR starts to fast- forward or rewind. As the tape passes an index mark, the VCR enters the visual search mode for 10 seconds, then resumes the fast-forward or rewind.

EARCH

When you locate the recording you want, press PLAY. Normal playback starts.

Direct Access Index Search

2.Press PLAY or STOP to highlight SET UP VCR, then press FAST-F. The VCR high- lights REPEAT PLAY.
