Searching for a Specific Sequence

Each time you record a cassette on this VCR, an “index” is automatically marked on the tape when recording starts.

The Search function allows you to fast-forward or rewind to a specific index and start playback from that point. Depending on the direction selected, the indexes are numbered as follows:

		➞
	Prev	Seq. being	Next
etc.	Seq.	played	Seq.	etc.
2	1	1	2

➢This VCR uses a standard indexing system (VISS). As a result, it will recognize any indexes marked by other VCRs using the same system and vice versa.
