VHS Index
Search System
The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR uses the VHS Index Search
System (VISS). This system is the VHS standard, so you can
use the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR’s index system with
tapes made on other VCRs and VHS camcorders that also
use the VISS system.
The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR automatically records an
Index Mark on the tape each time you begin recording. You
can also place Index marks during recording by pressing
INDEX
. You can then quickly locate these Index Marks during
playback by using the
INDEX
key on your remote control.
You can locate Index Marks in two ways:
First, use Index Scan if you want the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck
VCR to stop at each Index Mark, play for a few seconds, and
then go on to the next Index Mark.
1. Press
INDEX
on the remote control. The INDEX SCAN
display will appear on your screen.
2. Press
FWD
to scan for Index Marks forward, or
REW
to
scan for Index Marks in reverse.
3. Press
STOP
when you’ve reached the desired Index Mark.
The second way to locate Index Marks is to use Index
Search. Use Index Search to look for a particular Index
Mark.
1. Press the
INDEX
key on the remote control. The INDEX
SCAN display will appear on your screen.
2. Use the Numerical Keys to enter an INDEX value. This
value is the number of Index Marks that you want the
System to count before it stops. Enter a preceding 0 for
Index Marks 1-9. The INDEX SCAN prompt will be
replaced with an INDEX SEARCH prompt.
3. Press
FWD
to search for Index Marks forward, or
REW
to
search for Index Marks in reverse. The Index Search
System will count down the Index Marks as it detects
them. When it has counted down to zero, it will stop
there and play the tape.

Tip:
To locate a specific
segment on a tape, rewind
the tape to the beginning,
and enter the segment
number as the Index
Search value.
Note:
The Dual-Deck VCR may
miss an Index Mark if the
Mark is very close to the
current location, or if it is at
the beginning of the tape,
or if it is at the beginning of
a segment less than five
minutes in length.
