Index search

This function searches for the index signals
recorded on the tape so that the tape can be
cued up to a particular part.
Index searches can only be performed using the
remote control unit.

Using the menus (P67-P70), select the index
to be searched at the SEARCH item on the
PLAYBACK FUNCTION screen.
PHOTO:
When the INDEX button is pressed, the
tape is cued back or forward to the image
containing the photo index signal.
When the tape is cued, it is played back for
about 4 seconds, and then the image is
played back as a still picture. (If you
continue still-picture playback for 5 or more
minutes, the camera-recorder is set to the
stop mode in order to safeguard the heads
from wear.)
SCENE:
When the INDEX button is pressed once,
"S1" is displayed, and the tape is cued back
or forward to the image containing the photo
index signal.
Each time this button is pressed again after
operation has started, "S2" and then "S3"
are displayed, and the tape is cued up to
the second and subsequent scenes. When
the tape is cued up, playback starts from
that section. (Up to the ninth scene before
or ahead on the tape can be specified for
cue-up.)
The function may not work properly if the
interval between one index and the next is
less than one minute.
