Recording Functions
Marking an index
By pressing INDEX button on the unit or INDEX WRITE button on Remote Commander during recording, you can mark an index signal at any place on the tape. If you mark an index at the scene you want to search for, you can easily find the scene later. When [AUTO INDEX] in [VTR SET] menu is set to [ON], if you start recording while the tape in stop, the unit automatically marks an index. While the index is being marked, 
indicator appears for about seven seconds on Data display screen (page 25).
Notes
• You cannot mark a new index while indicator is being displayed.
•If you record on a portion of the tape where an index has been marked, the index will be erased. You cannot delete just an index while keeping the image or sound.
•You cannot mark an index during playback or audio dubbing operations. INDEX button and INDEX WRITE button are disabled in these operations.
To use an index during playback
See “Searching using the search function” on page 38.
