38 Index Search

When you make a recording, the VCR places an index mark at the beginning of the recording. Essentially, an index mark is a type of “bookmark” for your tape. This feature is useful if you have sever- al different programs recorded on a single tape.

You may skip over programs by following the steps below. Before you begin, make sure:

●The VCR is on and is in VCR position. (The VCR/TV light will appear. If it does not, press the VCR/TV button once.)

●There is a tape in the VCR.

Playback will begin at program 5. If you want to skip to program 1, select 02 to skip two programs (2 and 1). Playback will begin at program
