To Quickly Find the Beginning of

a Desired Programme

(VISSuVHS Index Search

System)

This VCR automatically records special index signals on the tape every time a recording is started. The Index search function makes use of these index signals to let you find the beginning of a desired programme quickly and easily.

Index signals are automatically recorded in the following cases:

When you start a recording by pressing the REC button J, REC/OTR button _ or DIRECT TV REC button 6.

When a timer recording starts.

When you press the REC button J on the remote control during recording.

Conditions for correct operation of the Index search function:

The VCR must be in the stop mode or in the playback mode.

Each programme recorded on the tape must be at least 5 minutes long.

Preparations

Display the VCR picture on the TV.

Insert a recorded video cassette.

Operation

direction from the current tape position in which the desired programme is located on the tape) to start the index search. For example,

if you want to search for the 2nd recorded programme in

forward direction, press the INDEX ; button K twice.

The VCR fast-forwards or rewinds the tape and searches for the specified index signal (the beginning of the desired recorded programme).

When it has been found, playback starts automatically.

To Cancel the Index Search or to Stop Playback:

Hints:

Searching in either direction is possible up to the 20th index signal.

If you press either of the INDEX buttons K too many times, simply press the other INDEX button K (indicating the opposite direction) to correct it. In this way, you can reduce the displayed figure down to 1.

The figure on the VCR display decreases by 1 every time an index signal is located.
