Go-Video 4-Head Hi-Fi, VHS-VHS manual ASF Automatic Show Finder, Index Scan, Index Search

NOTE:

You can also place Index marks during a recording by pressing INDEX.

ASF - Automatic Show Finder

The Dual-Deck VCR has an Automatic Show Finder feature. This feature combines the date/time stamp plus the VHS Index Search System (VISS). VISS is the VHS standard, so you can use the Dual-Deck VCR index system with tapes made on other VCRs and VHS camcorders that also use the VISS system.

The Dual-Deck VCR automatically records an Index Mark on the tape each time you begin recording. You will see IDX flash on the on-screen display.

You can locate these Index marks in two ways:

Index Scan:

1.Use DECK SELECT to choose the active deck.

2.With a tape in the active deck, press INDEX on the remote control. The INDEX menu will appear on your screen.

3. Press FF to scan for Index marks forward, or REW to scan for Index marks in reverse. The Index Scan display will appear and the deck will fast wind and play a few seconds of tape at each index mark it encounters; it will then continue to fast wind to the next index mark.

4.Press STOP or PLAY when you reach the desired Index mark or see the section of tape you want.

Index Search:

1.Use DECK SELECT to choose the active deck.

2.With a tape in the active deck, press INDEX on the remote control. The INDEX menu will appear on your screen.

3.Use the numerical keys to enter an index value. This value is the number of Index marks you want the VCR to count before it stops.

Note: Enter a 0 first for Index marks 1-9.

4. Press FF to search for Index marks forward, or PLAY to search for Index marks in reverse. The Index Search display will appear and the deck will start to fast wind. When the VCR reaches the indicated Index mark, it will stop and play the tape.
