After transmitting the VISS SEARCH command (17), transmit the appropriate
(17) VISS SEARCH (B3H) | : To search for a designated INDEX point on the tape. |
The VCR starts INDEX search after returning “ACK”. When the specified point is reached, the VCR returns COMPLETION (01H). If the end or beginning of the tape is reached before the specified point, the VCR returns NOT TARGET (05H).
This command differs from commands (15) and (16) only in that the FF (ABH) or REW (ACH) command is included separately.
