VCR Operation
Variable Search System
Press the SEARCH/EXIT button to display or exit
the search screen.
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.
Pause has no effect on index marks.

4. Press the PLAY button to view that program.
If you don’t press PLAY, the VCR automatically searches for the next index, or until the end of tape is reached.
2. Go to 0:00:00 stop
Use this feature when you want to search for the 0:00:00 counter position on a cassette. Press the CLEAR button
at the point on the tape where you want to set the counter to 0:00:00. Later, while a cassette is playing or
stopped, press A button. The VCR will rewind or fast forward, searching for the 0:00:00 counter position, and then
automatically stop at that position.
3. End search
Use this feature when you want to search for a blank position to record a program on a cassette.
While a cassette is playing or stopped, press T button. The VCR will rewind or fast forward, searching to a blank
position, and then automatically stop at that position.
If the VCR reaches the end of the tape during end search, the tape will be ejected.
