INDEX SEARCH
The VCR automatically inserts an index signal at the beginning of each alarm recording, so
the start of each alarm can be located. During fast forwarding or rewinding, the VCR can
search for an alarm index signal you have selected. When the VCR finds it, the VCR plays
back the tape in still mode.
1. Press the SEARCH button enough times to highlight INDEX SEARCH on the Search
Function menu. The index search indicator (INDEX) on the fluorescent display lights.
To exit the Search Function menu without searching, press STOP.
2. Turn the JOG dial to select an index number (between 1 and 255) you want to find.
3. Turn the SHUTTLE ring right (search forward) or left (search backward) to start
searching. The index number in the fluorescent display decreases by one as each
index signal goes by.
4. To quit while searching, press STOP.
The index signal may be hard to find under some recording conditions. Index search may
not function if the interval between two alarm recordings start times is too short. Refer to
Table G for minimum intervals.
HOW TO COUNT THE INDEX NUMBER
The index number is the count from the present position. The index number of one alarm
recording before the present position is –1. The index number of one alarm recording after
is +1.
The maximum count of alarm recordings is ±255.
