Retroactive Indexing

Tapes recorded on another VCR can be indexed, and this index data can be added to the HR-IP820U's library. Tapes to which an index has been added are known as RI (Retroactively-Indexed) tapes. To make an RI tape, perform the procedure described below.

ATTENTION

To make an RI tape, the VCR must be able to read Index Marks at the start of each program. If the VCR on which you recorded this tape didn't write these marks on the tape, you need to enter them manually. (See page 20 of the HR-IP820U's instruction manual.)

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.

3.Insert the tape you want to make into an RI tape.

To quit the process, press CANCEL.
