USING THE "SUPER INDEX" FEATURE

•What is SUPER INDEX

SUPER INDEX allows you to quickly search for a program or a scene you want to view or the point from which you want to start recording on tape, with the following four functions:

•INDEX SEARCH: You can locate the beginning of a recorded program, using the INDEX feature*.

*Each time you press the REC or REC/IRT button to start recording, the VCR will record an INDEX mark at the start of recording. The INDEX feature uses this signal recorded on tapes (VISS signal) to locate the beginning of a program you want to view.

•BLANK SEARCH: You can locate the beginnning of a blank (non-recorded) section on tape.

•EASY VIEW: This switches fast forward or rewind to visual search so that you can search for a scene you want to view while scanning the pictures

•SKIP PLAY: You can skip unnecessary scenes during play.

•Locating the beginning of a recorded program (INDEX SEARCH)

NOTE: This function only works with recordings that have been set up with indexing.
