Finding A Program
Selecting A Program From A Directory
The first thing you need to do is to insert the tape. Then call up its directory. How soon it appears depends on the type of tape on which the desired program is recorded.
Preparation
1.Turn on the power to the TV and the VCR.
2.Set the TV to the channel or mode appropriate for video playback.
●If you're using an HR tape recorded on your INDEX Plus+ VCR, the directory is already stored in the VCR's memory and is quickly accessible. Press INDEX Plus+ to display the directory.
●If the program you want to watch is on an HR tape that was recorded on a different INDEX Plus+ VCR, the directory must be uploaded before it can be displayed. (See page 23.)
●PR tapes recorded using INDEX Plus+ have their directories written directly on them. Press INDEX Plus+. A short time is required before the directory can be displayed.
●The → indicates that the entire title is not displayed. To view the entire title, press the REW and FF buttons.

Searching For A Program
There are two ways to search for a program. You can use TITLE search, where you tell the VCR to find your program using its name, or TAPE # search, where the VCR uses the Tape Number of the tape containing the desired program.
Your search starts from one of two situations:
Once the directory appears, you can make your selection. Using the CURSOR button
If you press STOP, the tape stops at the start point of the program.
Press INDEX Plus+ to return to the normal screen.
NOTES:
●The * in the screen above shows the tape's current position. (The * only appears when the VCR is able to detect the position of the tape.)
1 A tape is already in the machine, and you decide you want to watch another program, but you're not sure where it is.
2 There's no tape in the machine, and you want the VCR to find the program you want to watch.
In either case, you need to access the FIND screen. In the first situation, press INDEX Plus+ to call up the directory of the inserted tape, then press F1. If there's no tape inserted, pressing INDEX Plus+ brings up the FIND screen.
The procedures for each method are explained in the following pages.
