Notes:
●When recording an index signal on a recorded
tape, perform it in the playback mode. In record
mode, previous video or audio will be erased.
●Record an index signal at a due distance from a
neighboring index signal to avoid operational
error.
●With VISS shown on display, do not operate
other buttons.
●If the record speed is changed from SP to EP
near the index signal, the picture may be
disturbed after recording or erasing the index
signal is finished.
●Recording or erasure cannot take place on a
protected tape (without safety tab) or an
unrecorded tape.
