Variable Search System

Basic Recording

Forward Reverse

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.

1Go 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.

2End search

You can record a TV show in progress by inserting a blank tape and 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.
