Manual CA Playback
When VHS playback is stopped, press the SEARCH/IDX button to display a list of search options. The DVD+VCR uses the VISS (VHS Index Search System) standard to locate index marks placed at the start of all video recordings. This system may not 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 mode, then start recording the next program. PAUSE has no effect on index marks.
NOTE: When you insert a videotape and press SEARCH/IDX, you will be prompted to indicate if the tape is a “Purchased or Rented Movie”.
•If it is a rented movie, highlight “Yes” and press ENTER. The MOVIE ADVANCE options (“Find Next Preview” and “Find Start of Movie”) will appear at the bottom of the screen; see page 55.
•If it is not, highlight “No” and press ENTER. The “Manual CA Playback” option will appear; see instructions below.
