28 DISCOVER THE DUAL-DECK DIFFERENCE
NOTE:
The Dual-Deck VCR may miss an Index
mark if the mark is very close to the
current location, or it is at the beginning
of the tape, or if it is within 5 minutes
of another VISS mark.
You can also place Index marks during
a recording by pressing INDEX.
ASF - Automatic Show Finder
The Dual-Deck VCR has an Automatic Show Finder
feature. This feature combines the date/time stamp
plus the VHS Index Search System (VISS). VISS is the
VHS standard, so you can use the Dual-Deck VCR
index system with tapes made on other VCRs and
VHS camcorders that also use the VISS system.
The Dual-Deck VCR automatically records an Index
Mark on the tape each time you begin recording. You
will see IDX flash on the on-screen display.
You can locate these Index marks in two ways:
Index Scan:
1. Use
DECK SELECT
to choose the active deck.
2. With a tape in the active deck, press
INDEX
on the
remote control. The INDEX menu will appear on
your screen.
3. Press
FF
to scan for Index marks forward, or
REW
to scan for Index marks in reverse. The Index
Scan display will appear and the deck will fast
wind and play a few seconds of tape at each index
mark it encounters; it will then continue to fast
wind to the next index mark.
4. Press
STOP
or
PLAY
when you reach the desired
Index mark or see the section of tape you want.
Index Search:
1. Use
DECK SELECT
to choose the active deck.
2. With a tape in the active deck, press
INDEX
on the
remote control. The INDEX menu will appear on
your screen.
3. Use the numerical keys to enter an index value.
This value is the number of Index marks you want
the VCR to count before it stops.
Note: Enter a 0 first for Index marks 1-9.
4. Press
FF
to search for Index marks forward, or
PLAY
to search for Index marks in reverse. The
Index Search display will appear and the deck
will start to fast wind. When the VCR reaches
the indicated Index mark, it will stop and play
the tape.
