Index Search

The VCR has a ÒVHS Index Search SystemÓ that automatically records an index mark on the tape every time you stop and then start a new recording. During playback you can locate the program you want to play by the number of index marks.

The VCR will automatically locate the index number you select. The VCR will search forward or reverse from the location you are on the tape.

2.Press SEARCH on the remote to display the INDEX SEARCH menu on the TV screen.

3.Press two number buttons to enter the number of index marks you want the VCR to search.

Press CLEAR on the remote to correct an entry.

4.Press FF on the remote or FWD on the VCR to search forward.

Press REW to search in reverse.

5.Press STOP to stop index searching.

Some index marks may be missed by the VCR.

¥A mark too close to your location on the tape.

¥The mark at the beginning of a recorded segment of five minutes or less.
