How signals are recorded
The VCR marks the tape when:
– r REC is pressed.
– Recording is resumed after changing the program position during
recording pause (DSR-30P only.)
– Timer recording starts (DSR-30P only.)
There are three different signals for each search method. The type of
signal recorded and where it is recorded (on the sub code sector of the
tape or in the cassette memory) depends on the video equipment used
for recording. Please note that if the signals for certain search type are
not recorded, you cannot do that type of search.

locatethe original program.
• You cannot add indexes only after recording.
To add indexes only for Auto Repeat or One Program Play, start recording from
the point you want to start indexing.
• You cannot erase indexes after recording.
To delete indexes for Auto Repeat or One Program Play, start video insert from the
point you want to erase indexes.
• Searching may not be done correctly if the signals were not recorded on a Sony-
