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.
