Searching Techniques

Your VCR lets you search through a tape in a number of ways. These include:

Quick search (CM skip) -- 30 second intervals Speed search -- visually search

Counter zero stop -- direct to start of recording Index search -- find specific index points

Search to blank -- find the beginning of the blank section

Quick search (CM skip)

Quick search lets you skip over the tape you are playing in about 30 second intervals. It is designed so that you can quickly speed through any commercials you may have recorded. To do this:

1Make sure that you have set the VCR/TV slide switch on the remote control to the VCR position.

2While playing a tape, choose the desired search time by pressing a number button.

	Number	1	2	3	4	5	6
	button	1	2	3	4	5	6
	button
	Search	30 sec.	1 min.	1 min.	2 min.	2 min.	3 min.
	time			30 sec.		30 sec.

The VCR will speed through the selected length of tape, then resume playback. This screen will show the search time and the gauge. Each mark on the gauge represents 15 seconds. The marks will disappear, one by one, every 15 seconds of the search time. You can select a search time up to 3 minutes.
