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

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. You create an INDEX mark every time you press the REC button while
recording. For more on how this gets recorded, see the section on Recording a Program
(page 37).
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,
