•When you record an INDEX mark at the very beginning of the tape, the mark may not be found.
•During INDEX search, the tape may stop and begin to play at a slightly different location.
•INDEX may not function properly with old or worn out video tapes.
•INDEX marks may not be found if it is extremely close to the point where the search began.
