INDEX SEARCH
Your VCR has the Digital Program Search Sys-
tem (DPSS). Each time you start recording, the
VCR automatically marks the tape with an in-
dex signal.
You can use index search to:
• Return to the beginning of the current
recording.
• Skip to the beginning of the next recording.
• Locate a specific recording, if there are
several recordings on a tape.
The VCR can search through up to 19 index
signals.
Note:
To make it easier to locate a particular
recording, we recommend you list the real time
counter reading on the tape’s label each time
you start a recording.
While the VCR is stopped or during playback,
on the remote control repeatedly press
DPSS
(to search forward) or
DPSS
(to search back-
ward) the same number of times as the number
of recordings you want skip.
For example, if the tape is at recording 2 and
you want to watch recording 8, press
DPSS
6
times to skip the remaining portion of recording
2 and recordings 3 through 7. Or, if the tape is
at recording 9 and you want to watch recording
4, press
DPSS
6 times (to skip past record-
ings 9 through 5).
Each time you press
DPSS
or , the VCR
finds the next index signal and automatically
starts playback.
Notes:
• The only way to add an index signal to a
tape is to start a new recording.
• The only way to remove an index signal is
to record over it.
AUTO TRACKING
The VCR automatically adjusts tracking when
you play a tape.
PLAY

screen while the VCR is adjusting the tracking.
When different parts of the tape are recorded
at different speeds, the VCR automatically re-
adjusts the tracking at the beginning of each
recording.

tape, press and hold down either
CH
or

Note:
