Tape position/Index search
Tape position: The elapsed playback time, given to the hour
and minute, appears in the display.
When you load a cassette, the video recorder must first
calculate the playing time. Therefore, ’-:--’ appears first and
only after the tape has been running for a few seconds the
playing time will be shown.
The playback time displayed can be incorrect when using
camcorder cassettes or with cassettes made for NTSC-VHS
equipment.
Index search: At the beginning of each recording, the video
recorder marks the tape with a code mark. You can search
for these code marks on the tape. Once the video recorder
finds the code mark or a blank space it will automatically
switch to playback.
1 Press the INDEX E
button and then press the
I
button to select the next code mark or the
H
button
for the previous code mark.
Note: You cannot use the function ’Index search’ with
recordings made on another video recorder that does
not have this code mark function.
