Now when you rewind the tape, it will automatically stop at the spot where you
cleared the counter. (Notice it moves just past the marker and then back to it.)
Press PLAY to watch the tape from that preselected spot.
Press DISPLAY to take the counter display off. The spot is still in memory until
you set a new one or until the tape is ejected.
Jump to an Index Mark with INDEX
A quick way to access specific program segments is with the index search
feature. This lets you move through a tape that has several recordings on it by
searching for the INDEX "mark." This function only works with recordings that
have been set up with indexing. Each time you make a recording, an INDEX
"mark" (VISS signal) is recorded automatically at the start of the recording. For
more on how this gets recorded, see the section on Recording a Program (page
34).
This VCR's indexing system is based on the VHS Index Search System (VISS).
The new system may not recognize index marks on tapes recorded on older
VCRs.
If the VCR is in PLAY mode, press STOP.
Press DISPLAY. This brings up the Index Screen.
Press 7 for rewind or 9 for forward to begin the index search.
The tape rewinds or fast-forwards until an index mark is detected. During this
search, the word INDEX is displayed at the top left corner of your screen.
When the VCR finds an index mark, it plays 15 seconds of the program that
begins at that spot.
If this is the program you were looking for, press PLAY to resume normal
playback.
If this is not the program you want, don't press anything. After 15 seconds, the
VCR will move to the next mark and play a part of that program. The VCR will
continue searching until you press STOP or reach the end of the tape.
When you find the program you want and press PLAY, the VCR returns to PLAY
mode.
To stop the index search before an index mark is reached, press STOP.
If there are no index marks on the tape, the VCR will just rewind to the beginning
or fast forward to the end.
