Index search
Index search is a way to find specific points on a tape. Before
using index search, index marks are placed at important places on
a tape. Index search is used to find these marks. Index marks are
added automatically whenever your VCR starts a new recording;
you can also add index marks manually at any point during
recording.
automatic index marks
Whenever recording is begun from the STOP mode, an index mark
is automatically added to the tape. A message will indicate that the
mark is being recorded.
Index marks are not added when you press PAUSE to begin
recording from the record-pause mode.
manual index marks
To add an index mark yourself, press REC on the remote control
while a tape is recording.
Searching index marks must be added at least one minute apart.
When the tape is stopped, press INDEX ^I to begin a
1
forward search; press INDEX I\ to search in reverse. The
VCR will fast forward or rewind and index search display
appears on the TV.
Once the VCR finds an index mark, it will begin playing back
the tape from that point.
You can press INDEX ^I or INDEX I\ buttons up to 19
2
times to search for that many index marks. For example, to
find the third index mark ahead, press INDEX ^I three times.
The on-screen display will count down the number of marks
passed before playback begins.
