Variable Search System
Basic Recording |
Scan and play:
press [➛] or [❿]
Go to [0:00:00]: Press [$]
End search:
Press [❷]
0:00:00 SP
Press the SEARCH button to display the search screen in the stop mode. When a program is recorded, the starting point is given an Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS Index Search System (VISS) cannot recognize index marks made by old VCRs. If the VCR has trouble finding a mark, it is probably because the cassette was recorded on a VCR without VISS. If you want to index two programs in a row, set your VCR to stop, then start recording each program. Pause has no effect on index marks.
1Scan and play
Use scan and play when you don’t know exactly where a program is located on a cassette tape.
•Press right arrow for forward scan or left arrow for reverse scan.
•The display will show “Scan and Play”.
•When an index mark is found, the VCR plays for about five seconds.
•Press the PLAY button to view that program.
If you don’t press PLAY, the VCR automatically searches for the next index, or until the end of the tape is reached.
2Go to 0:00:00 stop
Use this feature when you want to search for the 0:00:00 counter position on a cassette. Press the CLEAR button at the point on the tape where you want to set the counter to 0:00:00. Later, while a cassette is stopped, press up arrow button. The VCR will rewind or fast forward, searching for the 0:00:00 counter position, and then automatically stop at that position.
3End search
Use this feature when you want to search for a blank position to record a program on a cassette. While a cassette is stopped, press down arrow button. The VCR will fast forward, searching for a blank position, and then automatically stop at that position.
If the VCR reaches the end of the tape during end search, the tape will be ejected.
