5Index Search

This function allows you to index the starting point to make it easy to reach the point in either fast forward or rewind mode.

Every time you start recording, an index is marked automatically. The index mark also works as the start- ing point of timer recording.

The index mark will not be recorded if [PAUSE F] is used during recording.

The time gap between making the index marks on the tape should be greater than 1 minute for SP recording, 2 minutes for LP recording and 3 minutes for SLP recording.

In some cases, the index mark at the beginning of cassette tape cannot be detected.

Example: You are watching program number 4 and want to fast forward to program number 7. Skip three programs.
