Recording several Index Marks
Due to the system only one index mark will be recorded at the
beginning of a recording. If you intend to set several index marks
during a single recording, follow the procedure below:
At the point of the recording where
an index mark is to be set press 4.
The unit will switch to the recording
pause mode.
Whenever a recording is begun an
invisible index mark is recorded on the
tape. These index marks are all identical,
and each mark means: "Here starts a
new recording". Every DVD/VCR
equipped with the Video Index Search
System (VISS) can locate these marks
at the beginning of any recording.
While holding 2, press once. When the "INDEX" on-screen
indication goes off, 3 may be pressed. This short recording
process will be sufficient to set an index mark.
This will result in about 10 seconds of the TV commercials to be
overwritten by another recording. Due to the system the end of
this recording will be followed by a recording gap (noise signal)
of approx. 5 seconds.

repeatedly
