Index Search
The VCR has a ÒVHS Index Search SystemÓ that automatically records an index
mark on the tape every time you stop and then start a new recording. During
playback you can locate the program you want to play by the number of index
marks.
The VCR will automatically locate the index number you select. The VCR will
search forward or reverse from the location you are on the tape.
