Tally Light

The tally light lights when the camcorder is recording.

Microphone

The microphone picks up the sound during a recording. It is more sensitive to sounds coming from the direction the lens is pointed.

Flying Erase Head

A separate erase head is mounted on the spinning headwheel (hence the term “flying”). This allows you to make clean edits without the “glitches” or “rainbow noise” that may occur at the beginning or the end of recordings.

Tape Positioning

Place POWER switch in VCR and press STOP.

•Press and quickly release REW or FF to rewind or fast-forward the tape. Press STOP to stop the tape.

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 when an index mark is recorded.

INDEX

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