VHS Index Search System

Your Dual-Deck VCR is equipped with a VHS Index Search System (VISS) to help you locate your recordings with ease. VISS is the industry standard, so you can use it with other VCRs and camcorders. Here’s how it works:

•The VCR automatically places an Index Mark at the start of every recording (when this happens, you will see “IDX” flash briefly on the On-Screen Display).

•You can place Index marks manually at any time during a recording by pressing INDEX on the remote control. For best results, avoid placing Index Marks at the beginning of a tape or in segments less than 5 minutes in length.

•You can then Scan or Search for Index marks when the tape is stopped or playing by pressing INDEX (see below).

Automatic Show Finder

Automatic Show Finder combines the Date/Time Stamp with the VHS Index Search System (VISS) to ensure you never misplace a recording. Here’s how it works:

1 Record the Date/Time Stamp at the beginning of all your recordings (see page 29).

2 Scan for Index Marks (see above). When the VCR finds an Index mark, it plays the tape for 5 seconds, so you can view each Date/Time Stamp and easily locate your recording.
