Toshiba SD-37VBSB manual Video Index Search System, Recording several Index Marks

Video Index Search System

Whenever a recording is begun an invisible index mark is recorded on the tape. These index marks are all identical, and each mark means: "Here starts a new recording". Every DVD/ VCR equipped with the Video Index Search System (VISS) can locate these marks at the beginning of any recording.

Example: Indexing of TV commercials.

1 Start playback and wait until the end of the TV commercial is reached, then press STOP.

2 Press REC/OTR once. When the “INDEX” on-screen indication goes off, STOP may be pressed. This short recording process will be sufficient to set an index mark.

This will result in about 10 seconds of the TV commercials to be overwritten by another recording. Due to the system the end of this recording will be followed by a recording gap (noise signal) of approx. 5 seconds.

Recording several Index Marks

Due to the system only one index mark will be recorded at the beginning of a recording. If you intend to set several index marks during a single recording, follow the procedure below:

Notes:

•When you record an INDEX mark at the very beginning of the tape, the mark may not be found.

•During INDEX search, the tape may stop and begin to play at a slightly different location.

•INDEX may not function properly with old or worn out video tapes.

•INDEX marks may not be found if it is extremely close to the point where the search began.

•In recording, if you stop recording tem- porarily, the INDEX mark is not re- corded on the tape.
