Index search

Index search is a way to find specific points on a tape. Before using index search, index marks are placed at specific places on a tape. Index search is 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 the STOP mode, an index mark is automatically added to the tape. A message will indicate that the mark is being recorded.

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\buttons up to 19

times to search for that many index marks. For example, to find the third index mark ahead, 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.
