To Find Specific Sections on a Tape
Searching with the Time Counter
If there is one part of the video that you know you are going to want to return to,
you can set the time counter to memorize that spot. Begin in either STOP or
PLAY mode.
Press DISPLAY several times to display the counter on the VCR.
Begin recording or playing back a tape.
At the point that you want to go back to, press CLEAR. This resets the counter
to 0:00:00.
Press STOP when you are done recording or playing back the tape.
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
