INDEX SEARCH
Your VCR has the Digital Program Search Sys- tem (DPSS). Each time you start recording, the VCR automatically marks the tape with an in- dex signal.
You can use index search to:
•Return to the beginning of the current recording.
•Skip to the beginning of the next recording.
•Locate a specific recording, if there are several recordings on a tape.
The VCR can search through up to 19 index signals.
Note: To make it easier to locate a particular recording, we recommend you list the real time counter reading on the tape’s label each time you start a recording.
While the VCR is stopped or during playback, on the remote control repeatedly press DPSS 
(to search forward) or DPSS 
(to search back- ward) the same number of times as the number of recordings you want skip.

For example, if the tape is at recording 2 and you want to watch recording 8, press DPSS 
6 times to skip the remaining portion of recording 2 and recordings 3 through 7. Or, if the tape is at recording 9 and you want to watch recording 4, press DPSS 
6 times (to skip past record- ings 9 through 5).
Each time you press DPSS 
or 
, the VCR finds the next index signal and automatically starts playback.
Notes:
•The only way to add an index signal to a tape is to start a new recording.
•The only way to remove an index signal is to record over it.
AUTO TRACKING
The VCR automatically adjusts tracking when you play a tape. PLAY flashes on the TV screen while the VCR is adjusting the tracking.
When different parts of the tape are recorded at different speeds, the VCR automatically re- adjusts the tracking at the beginning of each recording.
Manual Tracking
If the VCR’s picture is poor while playing a tape, press and hold down either CH 
or CH 
to manually adjust the tracking.

To return to automatic tracking, press CH

Note: When you eject a tape or turn on the VCR, the VCR resets to auto tracking and erases any manual tracking adjustment you made.
