About Cassettes...

INDEX Plus+ System recognizes three different types
of tapes. In order to ensure the most effective use of
INDEX Plus+, familiarize yourself with the three tape
classifications.

Tape Types

Home-recorded tape (HR): A tape recorded on the
HR-IP820U or a similar INDEX Plus+ VCR. The index
is written and updated for each program, and in this
case stored in the deck's memory, at the time of
recording.
Pre-recorded tape (PR): Unlike tapes currently on
the market, PR tapes contain a directory input by the
video publisher. You can access the directory using
your INDEX Plus+ VCR.
Retroactively-indexed tape (RI): A tape that was
recorded on a non-INDEX Plus+ VCR. You can use
INDEX Plus+ to add an index.

Procedure
