About Cassettes...

INDEX Plus+ System recognizes three different types of tapes. In order to ensure the most effective use of INDEX Plus+, familiarize yourself with the three tape classifications.

Tape Types

Home-recorded tape (HR): A tape recorded on the HR-IP820U or a similar INDEX Plus+ VCR. The index is written and updated for each program, and in this case stored in the deck's memory, at the time of recording.

Pre-recorded tape (PR): Unlike tapes currently on the market, PR tapes contain a directory input by the video publisher. You can access the directory using your INDEX Plus+ VCR.

Retroactively-indexed tape (RI): A tape that was recorded on a non-INDEX Plus+ VCR. You can use INDEX Plus+ to add an index.
