Counter zero stop

Counter zero stop allows you to quickly access the beginning of a recorded or playback section of a tape. The counter zero stop will automatically fast forward or rewind the tape to Ò0H00M00SÓ and stop.

1Press CANCEL on the remote control at the point you wish to locate later. The counter will reset to Ò0H00M00SÓ.

2When you wish to return to the point specified in step 1, press VIDEO on the remote control. The video function menu appears on your screen. Press VIDEO until the Counter zero stop function appears.

3Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right to start the counter zero stop.

The VCR will automatically search to the counter Ò0H00M00SÓ and then stop. The VCR may stop slightly before or after the counter Ò0H00M00SÓ.

Index search

Index search is a way to find specific points on a tape. Before using index search, index marks will be placed at specific places on the tape. Index search is then used to find these marks. Index marks are added automatically whenever your VCR starts a new recording; you can also add index marks manually at any point during recording.

automatic index marks

Whenever recording is begun from STOP mode, an index mark is automatically added to the tape. When recording in analog, a message will indicate that the mark is being added.

Index marks are not added when you press PAUSE or REC to begin recording from the record-pause mode.

manual index marks

To add an index mark yourself, press REC on the remote control while a tape is recording.

Index marks must be added at least one minute apart.

1When the tape is stopped, press INDEX ^I to begin a forward search; press INDEX I\ to search in reverse. The VCR will fast forward or rewind and index search display appears on the TV.

Once the VCR finds an index mark, it will begin playing back the tape from that point.

2You can press INDEX ^I or INDEX I\ up to 19 times to search for that many index marks. For example, to find the third index mark ahead from the point you are at, press INDEX ^I three times. The on-screen display will count down the number of marks passed before playback begins.

3To cancel index search, press STOP.

IMPORTANT

Index search may not work correctly if the interval between two index marks is shorter than 5 minutes in HS (high speed) mode, 10 minutes in STD (standard) mode, 5 minutes in SP (standard play) mode or 15 minutes in EP (extended play) mode.
