Other Recording FunctionsMarking an index
By pressing the INDEX button during a recording, you can mark an index signal at any place in the tape. The index signal is marked for five seconds. If you mark an index at the scene you want to search for, you can easily search for the scene later.
When you start recording in the stop mode, the index signal is marked automatically.
If you press the INDEX button while recording, the “INDEX MARK” indicator appears for seven seconds on the LCD monitor and the VIDEO OUT1 output (if you have turned on the SUPERIMPOSE switch) and the index is marked.
If you use a cassette with cassette memory, the index will also be marked in the cassette memory.
Notes
•You cannot mark a new index while the “INDEX MARK” indicator is showing.
•If you record on a location in 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, duplicate or audio dubbing operations. The INDEX button is disabled in these operations.
•The cassette memory space available limits the number of the indexes that you can mark by pressing the INDEX button. When you use a previously recorded tape for repeated recording, make more memory space available by erasing unwanted items using ITEM ERASE or ERASE ALL on the CM SET menu before you start recording.
