USING INDEX SEARCH
Your VCR has the VHS Index Search System.
Each time you start recording, the VCR auto-
matically marks the tape with an index mark at
that location. You can locate the recording you
want to play or skip the recording(s) you don’t
want to watch by either entering the number of
index marks or by scanning. The VCR searches
forward or backward from the current location.
Notes:
• Since the VCR does not display the index
marks, we recommend you list the record-
ings on each tape in order on the tape’s
box, to make it easier to locate a particular
recording on the tape.
• Index search might not function properly
when two or more index marks are close to
each other.
• If you do not press any button within 10
seconds after you select
INDEX
SEARCH
,
the VCR cancels the index search mode.
• If you activate the direct access index
search at a tape position very close to an
index mark, the VCR might not count that
mark. See “Direct Access Index Search.”
• Recording over an index mark erases that
index mark.
