Searching for a Specific Sequence

The Search function allows you to fast-forward or rewind to a specific index and start playback from that point. Depending on the direction selected, the indexes are numbered as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prev

 

Seq. being

 

Next

 

etc.

Seq.
