VHS Index

Search System

The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR uses the VHS Index Search
System (VISS). This system is the VHS standard, so you can
use the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR’s index system with
tapes made on other VCRs and VHS camcorders that also
use the VISS system.

The 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR automatically records an
Index Mark on the tape each time you begin recording. You
can also place Index marks during recording by pressing

INDEX

. You can then quickly locate these Index Marks during

playback by using the

INDEX

key on your remote control.

You can locate Index Marks in two ways:

First, use Index Scan if you want the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck
VCR to stop at each Index Mark, play for a few seconds, and
then go on to the next Index Mark.

1. Press

INDEX

on the remote control. The INDEX SCAN

display will appear on your screen.

2. Press

FWD

to scan for Index Marks forward, or

REW

to

scan for Index Marks in reverse.

3. Press

STOP

when you’ve reached the desired Index Mark.

The second way to locate Index Marks is to use Index
Search. Use Index Search to look for a particular Index
Mark.

1. Press the

INDEX

key on the remote control. The INDEX

SCAN display will appear on your screen.

2. Use the Numerical Keys to enter an INDEX value. This

value is the number of Index Marks that you want the
System to count before it stops. Enter a preceding 0 for
Index Marks 1-9. The INDEX SCAN prompt will be
replaced with an INDEX SEARCH prompt.

3. Press

FWD

to search for Index Marks forward, or

REW

to

search for Index Marks in reverse. The Index Search
System will count down the Index Marks as it detects
them. When it has counted down to zero, it will stop
there and play the tape.

INDEX SEARCH : 1

Tip:

To locate a specific

segment on a tape, rewind

the tape to the beginning,

and enter the segment

number as the Index

Search value.

Note:

The Dual-Deck VCR may

miss an Index Mark if the

Mark is very close to the

current location, or if it is at

the beginning of the tape,

or if it is at the beginning of

a segment less than five

minutes in length.
