Quick search (CM skip)
Quick search lets you skip over the tape you are playing in about 30 second
intervals. It is designed so that you can quickly speed through any commercials
you may have recorded. To do this:
1 Make sure that you have set the VCR/TV slide switch on the remote control to
the VCR position.
2 While playing a tape, choose the desired search time by pressing a number
button.
The VCR will speed through the selected length of tape, then resume playback.
This screen will show the search time and the gauge. Each mark on the gauge
represents 15 seconds. The marks will disappear, one by one, every 15 seconds
of the search time. You can select a search time up to 3 minutes.
Speed search
Use speed search to visually search through the contents of a videotape.
1 While playing a tape, press FF or REW on the remote control. You will see the
picture as it fast forwards or rewinds. Noise bars may appear in the pictures.
2 When you are playing the tape recorded in analog format, if you press FF or
REW and hold it down for about 1 second, the search speed will increase.
3 To resume normal playback, press FF or REW again quickly, or press PLAY.
IMPORTANT
The fastest search speed that allows you to see the picture is about 30 times
of normal speed. It is normal for the number of noise bars on the screen to
increase and roll from top to bottom as the visual search speed increases.
Using speed search for long stretches of tape may cause the video heads to
become dirty faster.
The fastest way to move through the tape is without a picture, which allows
you to search up to 500 times normal speed (for the tape recorded in analog
format). To do this, press STOP, then FF or REW. If you press and hold FF
or REW for more than 2 seconds, the search speed will slow to 280 times
normal speed (for the tape recorded in analog format).
In order to protect your tapes and the VCR heads, the Fast Forwarding/
Rewinding Speed will be slower than 500x under the following conditions:
1 Use of tapes shorter in length than T-120 (for example, T-30, T-60, T-90).
2 Use of tapes longer in length than T-120 (for example, T-160, T-180, T-210.
Also for DF-300, DF360, DF-420, and DF-480).
3 Activating fast forwarding or rewinding from the middle of the tape.
Speed search may not work correctly when playing back a tape recorded in
both analog and digital format on the same tape.
When you record a digital program, there is a chance that it was broadcast
as a non-standard digital signal. This means that while this D-VHS VCR can
record the program, it may not display a picture when you use the visual
search function (i.e. Speed Search). This is not a defect of the D-VHS VCR
player.
The speed search may not work correctly when playing back a program
recorded by multi stream recording or depending on the program you have
recorded.
