Notes on erasing
•Press INDEX ERASE more than 2 seconds after the playback of the desired program begins.
•You cannot erase the index signal on a tape with the red mark on the cassette exposed.
•While the index signal is being erased, the sound cannot be heard and a black band appears at the bottom of the picture. This will not affect the recorded sound or picture.
•The camcorder can detect index signals marked with VCRs, but cannot erase them. VCRs with an index function can detect index signals marked with this camcorder but cannot erase them.
•An index signal may be erased when making PCM after recording on another VCR in the portion where the index signal is marked.
