Index Search
The VCR has a “VHS Index Search System” that automatically records index
marks on the tape every time you start a recording. During playback you can
locate the program you want to play by the number of index marks or by
scanning. The VCR will search forward or reverse from the location you are at
on the tape.
To Activate Index Search:
1. While playing back, press the STOP button to freeze the action.
2. Press the SEARCH button on the remote control to display the INDEX
SEARCH screen on the TV screen.
3. If you want to search through a certain number of index marks, press two
number buttons to enter the number of marks you want to search. Press the
CLEAR button on the remote control to correct an entry.
4. Press the FORWARD button to search forward or the REVERSE button to
search in reverse. The VCR will locate your index mark and begin playback.
If you did not enter a specific index number, the VCR will locate the next
index mark and begin playback.
5. Press STOP to stop Index Search.
Notes– Certain index marks may be missed by the VCR including:
• Marks too close to the current location of the tape.
• Those at the beginning of a recording lasting five minutes or less.
• Index marks that start at the beginning of the tape.
Zero Search
The Zero Search feature enables the VCR to quickly return to the 0:00:00
counter reading from anywhere on the tape. This is a convenient way to play a
segment of the tape several times.
1. Cue a tape to the spot you wish to return to.
2. Press the CLEAR button twice to reset the counter to 0:00:00.
3. Continue playing the tape.
4. Press the STOP button.
5. Press the SEARCH button repeatedly until the ZERO SEARCH menu appears
on screen.
6. Press the REVERSE button (REV on the VCR) to return to 0:00:00 on the
tape.
7. Repeat as necessary.
