The DVD-VCR Search/Index features allow you to scan and search for Index Marks, quickly find blank tape, search for tape counter positions, and return to 0:00:00. The real-time tape counter gives you real-time feedback on the precise position of your DVDs and videotapes.

Press the CLOCK/COUNTER button repeatedly to cycle the front panel display through the following three views:

1

Clock

 

Shows you the current time as set in the Set Clock menu.

 

 

2

Real-Time Counter

 

Shows you the current counter position in the DVD or VCR deck in

 

hours, minutes, and seconds.

 

 

3

Time Remaining (VHS only)

 

Shows you the amount of time left on the tape in the VCR deck,

 

computed by subtracting the current tape position from the total

 

tape length in hours and minutes.

Index Marks are like bookmarks on your videotapes. They are inserted automatically at the start of every recording, or you can place them manually anywhere on a tape. Later you can locate these “bookmarks” using Index Search or Index Scan.

1Automatic Index Marks

Index Marks are placed automatically whenever you start recording, including OTR (One Touch Recording), Timer Recording.

2Manual Index Marks

You can place an Index Mark manually any time a recording is in progress by pressing the Mark button on the remote control. “Index” will flash briefly on the On-Screen Display while the mark is recorded.
