How signals are recorded
There are four different signal types, one for each
search method; index, title, date and photo signals.
They are recorded by the digital camcorder (DSR-200/
200P, 200A/200AP, PD100/PD100P, PD100A/
PD100AP, PD150/PD150P, 250/250P, etc.). However,
the type of signal recorded and where it is recorded (on
the tape or in the cassette memory) depend on whether
the cassette has cassette memory or which type of
video equipment is used for recording. Please note that
if the signals for a certain search type are not recorded,
you cannot perform that type of search. For details on
the signals used for a particular type of search, refer to
the instruction manual of the recorder.
Signals that can be recorded on this unit are as follows.
Signals for In cassette memory On tape
Index search* Yes Yes
Title search No No
Date search No Yes
Photo search No No
* If AUTO INDEX on the VTR SET menu is set to ON and the
unit is in the stop mode, when you start recording, the unit
automatically marks a signal for Index search. If AUTO INDEX
is set to OFF, the unit does not mark it.
During recording,
pressing the INDEX button on the unit or the INDEX WRITE
button on the Remote Commander marks a signal for Index
search regardless of the AUTO INDEX setting.
