Tip:

To locate a specific segment on a tape, rewind the tape to the beginning, and enter the segment number as the Index Search value.

Note:

The Dual-Deck VCR may miss an Index Mark if the Mark is very close to the current location, or if it is at the beginning of the tape, or if it is at the beginning of a segment less than five minutes in length.

The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR uses the VHS Index Search System (VISS). This system is the VHS standard, so you can use the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR’s index system with tapes made on other VCRs and VHS camcorders that also use the VISS system.

The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR automatically records an Index Mark on the tape each time you begin recording. You can also place Index marks during recording by pressing INDEX . You can then quickly locate these Index Marks during playback by using the INDEX key on your remote control.

You can locate Index Marks in two ways:

First, use Index Scan if you want the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR to stop at each Index Mark, play for a few seconds, and then go on to the next Index Mark.

1.

Press INDEX

on the remote control. The INDEX SCAN

 

display will appear on your screen.

2.

Press FWD

to scan for Index Marks forward, or REW to

 

scan for Index Marks in reverse.

3.

Press STOP

when you’ve reached the desired Index Mark.

The second way to locate Index Marks is to use Index Search. Use Index Search to look for a particular Index Mark.

1.Press the INDEX key on the remote control. The INDEX SCAN display will appear on your screen.

2.Use the Numerical Keys to enter an INDEX value. This value is the number of Index Marks that you want the System to count before it stops. Enter a preceding 0 for Index Marks 1-9. The INDEX SCAN prompt will be replaced with an INDEX SEARCH prompt.

3.Press FWD to search for Index Marks forward, or REW to search for Index Marks in reverse. The Index Search System will count down the Index Marks as it detects them. When it has counted down to zero, it will stop there and play the tape.
