Index Search (Viss) - Daewoo DVQ 14H1FC Instruction Manual

Index Search (VISS)

Your TV/VCR is equipped with the VHS Index Search System, or VISS. The VISS allows
"index marks" to be placed on a video tape. These marks are similar to bookmarks - you can
use the search system to quickly find these marks, and thereby find a point on the tape quickly.
Your TV/VCR automatically places an index mark on the tape every time it begins a record-
ing session. Therefore, if you record six programs at six different times on a tape, there will be
six index marks on the tape.
To search for an index mark:
1. Place a tape with index marks in your TV/VCR.
2. If the index mark is ahead on the tape, press the VISS+ button; if the index mark is behind
on the tape, press VISS- button. The tape will fast forward or rewind (without picture) until
it finds the index mark. Then, it will begin playing.
3. You can search further than the next index mark. For example, if you know that the show
you want is three index marks behind, you can press the VISS- button three times. The
TV/VCR will search for the third index mark, then begin playing.
VCRs and TV/VCRs from other manufacturers sometimes use the same VISS system.
Therefore, you may be able to search for index marks on tapes that were recorded on other
VCRs.
Your TV/VCR cannot detect index marks unless they are least one minute apart on the tape.
