pressing the REC button. You can even add time in 30-minute

increments up to 4 hours by pressing the REC button repeatedly;

see page 57.

NOTE: Be sure your videotape has a Record Safety Tab. If the tab

is missing, you can cover the opening with a small piece of

tape. Warning: Do not cover this opening unless you are

sure you want to record over the tape.

Basic Recording

Press the SEARCH button to display the search screen in the stop

mode. When a program is recorded, the starting point is given an

Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS Index Search

System (VISS) cannot recognize index marks made by old VCRs. If

the VCR has trouble finding a mark, it is probably because the

cassette was recorded on a VCR without VISS. If you want to index

two programs in a row, set your VCR to stop, then start recording

each program. Pause has no effect on index marks.

1 Go to 0:00:00 stop

Use this feature when you want to search for the 0:00:00 counter

position on a cassette. Press the CLEAR button at the point on the

tape where you want to set the counter to 0:00:00. While a

cassette is stopped, press the ENTER button. The VCR will rewind

or fast forward, searching for the 0:00:00 counter position, and then

automatically stop at that position.

2 End search

Use this feature when you want to search for a blank position to

record a program on a cassette. While a cassette is stopped, press

ENTER button. The VCR will fast forward, searching for a blank

position, and then automatically stop at that position. If the VCR

reaches the end of the tape during end search, the tape will be

ejected.
