ABOUT INDEX MARKS
WHAT ARE INDEX MARKS?
Index Marks are like bookmarks on your
videotapes. They are inserted automatically
at the start of every recording, or you can
place them manually anywhere on a tape.
Later you can locate these “bookmarks”
using Index Search or Index Scan.
Automatic Index Marks
The VCR places an Index Mark on your tape
the moment you start recording. This
includes standard recording, One Touch
Recording, Timer Recording, copying, or
recording with the 8-Scene Editor.
Manual Index Marks
You can place an Index Mark manually any
time a tape is recording by pressing
SEARCH/INDEX. “Index” will flash briefly on
the On-Screen Display while the mark is
recorded.
