Variable Search System - Hitachi DV-RF7U Instruction Manual

Variable Search
System
Press the FUNCTIONS button to display the search
screen in the stop or playback mode. 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.
