VHS Index Search System
Your Dual-Deck VCR is equipped with a VHS Index Search
System (VISS) to help you locate your recordings with ease.
VISS is the industry standard, so you can use it with other
VCRs and camcorders. Here’s how it works:
The VCR automatically places an Index Mark at the start
of every recording (when this happens, you will see “IDX”
flash briefly on the On-Screen Display).
You can place Index marks manually at any time during
a recording by pressing
INDEX
on the remote control. For
best results, avoid placing Index Marks at the beginning
of a tape or in segments less than 5 minutes in length.
You can then Scan or Search for Index marks when the
tape is stopped or playing by pressing
INDEX
(see below).
Index Scan
1 Insert a tape containing recordings in either deck.
2 Press
INDEX
. The DECK ONE INDEX or DECK TWO
INDEX menu will appear.
3 Press
FF
to scan for Index Marks forward, or
REW
to
scan for Index Marks in reverse. The deck will play a few
seconds of tape at each Index Mark, then continue on to
the next Index Mark.
4 Press
STOP
(or
PLAY
) when you reach the desired Index
Mark.
Index Search
1 Insert a tape containing recordings in either deck.
2 Press
INDEX
. The DECK ONE INDEX or DECK TWO
INDEX menu will appear.
3 Use the number buttons to enter the number of Index
Marks you want the system to count before it stops and
plays the tape (enter a “0” first for Index Marks 1-9).
4 Press
FF
to search for Index Marks forward, or
REW
to
search for Index Marks in reverse. When the system
counts the indicated number of Index Mark, it will stop
and play the tape.
Automatic Show Finder
Automatic Show Finder combines the Date/Time Stamp
with the VHS Index Search System (VISS) to ensure you
never misplace a recording. Here’s how it works:
1 Record the Date/Time Stamp at the beginning of all your
recordings (see page 29).
2 Scan for Index Marks (see above). When the VCR finds an
Index mark, it plays the tape for 5 seconds, so you can view
each Date/Time Stamp and easily locate your recording.
