Electronic Indexing

An index mark is automatically recorded at the beginning of a recording after the date advances and a cassette is inserted. When you play back the indexed tape in a VCR that has a compatible indexing feature called “VHS Index Search System”, the invisible marks can be located automatically. See VCR owner’s manual.

INDEX flashes in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor when an index mark is recorded.

Notes: No other function can be performed during index recording.

If the date changes during recording, an index mark is placed on the tape.
