SKIP SEARCH

The VCR automatically inserts an index signal at the beginning of each alarm recording, so
the start of each alarm can be located. During fast forwarding or rewinding, the VCR plays
back a tape (in 2H, 6H, or 8H mode) for about four seconds where an index signal is
recorded. It repeats this process until reaching the end or beginning of the tape.

Function menu. The skip search indicator (SKIP) on the fluorescent display lights.
To exit the Search Function menu without searching, press STOP.

searching.
3. When you find a picture you want to view, press PLAY.
4. To quit searching, press STOP.
The index signal may be hard to find under some recording conditions. Skip search may
not function if the interval between two alarm recordings start times is too short. Refer to
Table G for minimum intervals.
Audio output is muted during skip search.
