INDEX SEARCH

TV/VCR

This feature provides a method of indexing the start- ing point so that it can be easily returned to in either fast forward or rewind mode.

•The index mark will be made automatically when [RECORD] is hit. It will also be marked at the starting point of Timer recording and OTR.

•The index mark will not be recorded if [PAUSE F] is hit and released during recording.

•The time gap between making the index marks on the tape should be greater than 1 minute for SP recording, 2 minutes for LP recording and 3 min- utes for SLP recording.

•In some cases, the index mark at the beginning of video tape cannot be detected.

Example: You are watching program number 4 and want to fast forward to program number 7. You must skip three programs.
