Variable Search System
When a program is recorded, the starting point is given
an Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS

marks made by old VCRs. If the VCR has trouble finding
a mark, it is probably because the cassette was
recorded on a VCR without VISS. If you want to index
two programs in a row, set your VCR to stop, then start
recording each program.
