•Operation is repeated until tape reaches its end.
The Intro Scan function plays back the first 10 seconds of
each programme (recorded with index signal) on a tape
one after another. This is convenient for quick checking
what programmes are on a tape, or to find the desired
instalment of a TV series you have recorded on a tape.
Performing Index Repeat Playback
Insert a video cassette.
(Put the VTR in the stop mode.)
Press the Index Button.
Press the Fast Forward ►►/Cue Q Button.
(The Intro Scan starts.)
When the desired scene is reached, press the Play
Button (►).
•The Intro Scan function may not be activated for
the first programme recorded close to the
beginning of the tape.
•The Intro Scan function may not be activated, if the
interval between programme starts is less than
5 minutes in the LP mode, or less than 3 minutes
in the SP mode.

1 Press the Index Button,

and playback starts.
•When the next index signal is found, the tape will be
rewound. When the index signal, where the

restart. In this way, automatically repeated playback
can be performed for a tape portion as defined by
the number of index signals that are skipped.

Button,
If Index Repeat playback is performed on a tape for
long periods of time, the picture quality may become
inferior.
