9.3 LOCATING THE START OF ALARM RECORDINGS

The VCR automatically inserts an index signal at the beginning of each alarm re-
cording, so the start of each alarm can be located.

9.3.1 Index Search

During fast forward or rewind, the VCR will search for alarm index signals. When it
finds one, it plays back the tape and stays in still mode.
1. Press the COUNTER MEMORY/SKIP/INDEX button to illuminate INDEX on
the fluorescent display. The number indicator will also be illuminated.
2. Turn the JOG dial to display the number (1-15) corresponding to the alarm
index you want to find.
3. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right (forward direction) or left (reverse direc-
tion). The index number will decrease as each index signal passes. (The in-
dex signal may be hard to find in some recording conditions.)

fluorescent display.
2. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right or left.

button to end the skip search.
