counter will reset to “0H00M00S”.
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.

The VCR will automatically search to the counter “0H00M00S” and then stop. The
VCR may stop slightly before or after the counter “0H00M00S”.
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.
