set the VCR to lock out all button controls.

Press and hold the DISPLAY button on the remote
control for 5 seconds. The VCR display will show
"SAFE" when the feature is activated.

VHS Index Search System
Press the SEARCH/EXIT button to display or exit
SEARCH/EXIT
the search screen.
When a program is recorded, the starting point is given
an Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS
Index Search System(VISS) cannot recognize index
marks made by old VCRs. If the VCR has trouble
finding a mark, it is probably because the cassette was
recorded on a VCR without VISS.
If you want to index two programs in a row, set your
VCR to stop. Then start recording each program.
Pause has no effect on index marks.
1. Scan and play
Use scan and play when you don't know exactly where a program is located on a cassette tape.
1. Press the ❿ button for forward scan or the ➛ button for reverse scan.
2. The display will show "Scan and Play".
3. When an index mark is found, the VCR plays for about five seconds.
4. Press the PLAY button to view that program.
If you don't press the PLAY button, the VCR automatically searches for the next index, or until the end of
tape is reached.
2. Go to [0:00:00] stop
Use this feature when you want to search for the 0:00:00 counter position on a cassette. Press the CLEAR
button at the point on the tape where you want to set the counter to 0:00:00. Later, while a cassette is playing
or stopped, press the L button. The VCR will rewind or fast forward, to search 0:00:00 counter position, and
then automatically stop at that position.
3. End search
Use this feature when you want to search for a blank position to record a program on a cassette.
While a cassette is playing or stopped, press the M button. The VCR will rewind or fast forward to search
a blank position, and then automatically stop at that position.
If the VCR reaches the end of the tape during end search, the tape will be ejected.
