About Index Marks
Index Marks are like bookmarks on your VHS tapes that help you easily find the start of any recording. Index Marks are inserted
automatically during standard recording, one-touch recording, timer recording, or copying. You can also place Index Marks manu-

bookmarks in the Search Menu.
