VISS VHS Index Search System. A feature of this VCR that automatically records an index each time recording begins. It helps you locate a particular segment of the tape quickly and easily.

Index Search A feature of this VCR that records an invisible index number on the tape each time record- ing starts, thus making it easy to locate a particular program or segment on a tape con- taining a number of segments recorded over a period of time.

OTR One-touch recording, a feature that allows you to record the program you're watching by pressing the REC/OTR key. Each press of the key increases the recording time by 30 min- utes up to four hours.

PAUSE Pause/Still-frame control. To stop tape motion temporarily during recording (to eliminate a commercial in a TV program, for example) or to freeze a video frame during playback, use this key.

RF Radio frequency, the composite audio/video signal supplied to a TV receiver (or other video component) by an antenna or cable system.
