Searching using the index function (continued)

Note

This VCR is not compatible with “CLIP LINK.”

How signals are recorded

The VCR marks the tape when:

rREC is pressed.

Recording is resumed after changing the program position during recording pause (DSR-30P only.)

Timer recording starts (DSR-30P only.)

There are three different signals for each search method. The type of signal recorded and where it is recorded (on the sub code sector of the tape or in the cassette memory) depends on the video equipment used for recording. Please note that if the signals for certain search type are not recorded, you cannot do that type of search.
