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. 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, 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.
