Index Search

When you make a recording, the VCR automatically places an index code at the beginning of the recording. Essentially, an index code is a type of “book- mark” for your tape.This feature is useful if you have several different pro- grams recorded on a single tape.

Fast forward or rewind to the next or previous index code on the tape by following the steps below.

1

Press the VCR button. Make sure the VCR is in VCR position. (The VCR light will appear on the display panel when the VCR is in VCR position.) If

the VCR light does not appear, press the VCR/TV button once.

2

Insert a tape in the VCR. Press the --7/STILL/SLOW + button to fast forward to the next index code on the tape. Or, press the 4/STILL/SLOW - button to rewind to the previous index code on the tape (or to the beginning of the current recording).Wait for the VCR to fast forward or rewind the tape.When the index code is reached, tape playback will begin automatically.

NOTE:You may press an --7/STILL/SLOW + button repeatedly to skip over multiple recordings. For example, if you want to fast forward past four recordings, press the --7/STILL/SLOW + but- ton four times. INDEX 4 will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen.The index codes will count down on the screen as the search progresses. (ON SCREEN MODE can not be set to OFF. Details are on page 26.)

Skip Search

This function enables you to skip forward 30 seconds at a time during tape playback.

1

During tape playback, press the VCR button, then press the SKIP SEARCH button. Each time you press the SKIP SEARCH button, the VCR will skip forward 30 seconds, then resume normal playback. You can skip up to two minutes at a time using Skip Search.
