Notes

•At the beginning of recording, an index is marked automatically. Also, indexes are marked whenever you press the XPAUSE button.

•When the unit is remotely controlled with the RS- 232C remote interface, the STOP command works as the pause task or stop recording task. Which task is effective depends on the setting of the 232C STOP item (see page 49) of the ENHANCED MENU of the

SETUP MENU.

If buttons on the front panel do not function even if you push them

The KEY INHIBIT item (see page 47) of the SETUP MENU is set to “ON.”

Thus, the key-lock function is activated so that all buttons except the MENU button, the LIST button, the power switch, and the OPEN/CLOSE button are deactivated to prevent you from pressing buttons accidentally.

To re-activate the buttons, set the KEY INHIBIT item to “OFF.”

However, when the unit is in menu operation status, you can use the B, b, V, v, and SET buttons.

Marking Indexes During Recording

You can mark indexes at desired points during recording. This allows you to search for the desired points instantly during playback, and also to play a segment specified by two points in succession.

You can mark up to 254 indexes on one disc and up to 99 indexes within one title.

You can mark indexes using the following three methods.

To use the XPAUSE button of the unit

Press the XPAUSE button on the front panel of the unit.
