USING INDEX SEARCH

Your VCR has the VHS Index Search System.

Each time you start recording, the VCR auto-

matically marks the tape with an index mark at

that location. You can locate the recording you

want to play or skip the recording(s) you don’t

want to watch by either entering the number of

index marks or by scanning. The VCR search-

es forward or backward from the current loca-

tion.

Notes:

• Since the VCR does not display the index

marks, we recommend you list the record-

ings on each tape in order on the tape’s

box, to make it easier to locate a particular

recording on the tape.

• Index search might not function properly

when two or more index marks are close to

each other.

• If you do not press any button within 10

seconds after you select

INDEX

, the VCR

cancels index search mode.

• If you activate the direct access index

search at a tape position very close to an

index mark, the VCR might not count that

mark. See “Direct Access Index Search.”

• Recording over an index mark erases that

index mark.

Direct Access Index Search

While the VCR is stopped or playing a tape,

press

INDEX

.

INDEX

appears. Then use the

number keys to enter the number of index

marks you want to skip.

For example, if the tape is at the second re-

cording (index mark 2) and you want to watch

the seventh recording (at index mark 7), enter

5

to skip past index marks 3 through 6. Or, if the

tape is at index mark 9 and you want to watch

the recording at index mark 3, enter

7

to skip

past index marks 9 through 4.

Then press

FAST-F

to skip forward to that index

mark or

REW

to skip backward. When the tape

reaches the selected index mark, the VCR

starts normal playback.

or rewind.

When you locate the recording you want, press

PLAY

. Normal playback starts.

REPEAT PLAY

You can automatically repeat playback of a

tape from the beginning to the end (or to a

blank part), instead of having the tape automat-

ically rewind and eject.
