Index Search
When you make a recording, the VCR automatically places an index code at the beginning of the recording. Essentially, an index code is a type of “bookmark” for your tape. This feature is useful if you have several different programs recorded on a single tape.
Fast forward or rewind to the next or previous index code on the tape by following the steps below.
1
Press the VCR button. Make sure the VCR is in VCR position. (The VCR light will appear on the display panel when the VCR is in VCR position.) If the VCR light does not appear, press the
VCR/TV button once.
2
Insert a tape in the VCR. Press the INDEX SEARCH ¢ button to fast forward to the next index code on the tape. Or, press the INDEX SEARCH 4 button to rewind to the previous index code on the tape (or to the beginning of the current recording). Wait for the VCR to fast forward or rewind the tape. When the index code is reached, tape playback will begin automatically.
NOTE: You may press an INDEX button repeatedly to skip over multiple recordings. For example, if you want to fast forward past four recordings, press the INDEX ¢ button four times. INDEX 4 will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. The index codes will count down on the screen as the search progresses. (ON SCREEN MODE can not be set to OFF. Details are on page 25.)
Record End Search
This function enables you to search forward to the next unrecorded portion of the tape (or to the point at which recording was stopped).
1
Press the VCR button, then press the REC(ord) END SEARCH button. The VCR begins fast forwarding to find the blank portion on the tape. SEARCHING FOR REC END will appear on the screen during the search.
The VCR will automatically stop when the blank portion or the end of the recorded portion is reached. REC END SEARCH COMPLET- ED will appear on the screen briefly. The remaining tape time also may appear on the display panel.
Skip Search
This function enables you to skip forward 30 seconds at a time dur- ing tape playback.
1
During tape playback, press the VCR button, then press the SKIP SEARCH button. Each time you press the SKIP SEARCH button, the VCR will skip forward 30 seconds, then resume normal playback. You can skip up to two minutes at a time using Skip Search.
