9.2.3 Still Picture
You can get a still picture by pressing the PAUSE/SHUTTLE HOLD button during
playback. Press it again to resume normal playback.
9.2.4 Frame-by-Frame Playback
You can use the JOG dial to advance the tape frame by frame.
1. While the VCR is playing the tape, press the PAUSE/SHUTTLE HOLD button
to freeze the picture.
2. Slightly rotate the JOG dial clockwise to advance the tape, or counterclock-
wise to reverse the tape. To get a continuous frame-by-frame picture, keep
rotating the JOG dial.
3. Press the PLAY button to resume normal playback.
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.)
