To Find the Beginning of Each
Recording
(VHS Index Search System)
This VCR automatically records special index signals on the
tape every time a recording is started. The Index search
function makes use of these index signals to let you find the
beginning of a desired programme quickly and easily.
Index signals are automatically recorded in the following
cases:
≥ When you start a recording by pressing the REC button K,
REC/OTR button `, or DIRECT REC button 6.
≥ When a timer recording starts.
≥ When you press the REC button K on the remote control
during recording.
Conditions for correct operation of the Index search function:
≥ The VCR must be in the stop mode or in the playback
mode.
≥ Each programme recorded on the tape must be at least
5 minutes long.
Preparations
≥ Display the VCR picture on the TV.
≥ Insert a recorded video cassette.
Operation
1 Press the INDEX button L (that corresponds to the
direction from the current tape position in which the
desired programme is located on the tape) to start the
index search.
For example, if you want to
search for the 2nd recorded
programme in forward direction,
press the INDEX ; button L
twice.
≥ The VCR fast-forwards or rewinds the tape and
searches for the specified index signal (the beginning
of the desired recorded programme).
When it has been found, playback starts
automatically.
To Cancel the Index Search or to Stop Playback:
Press the Stop button 9.
Notes:
≥ Searching in either direction is possible up to the 20th
index signal.

simply press the other INDEX button L (indicating the
opposite direction) to correct it. In this way, you can reduce
the displayed figure down to 1.
≥ The figure on the VCR display decreases by 1 every time
an index signal is located.

Video Cassette Contents
