USING INDEX SEARCH
Your VCR has the VHS Index Search System.
Each time you start recording, the VCR auto-
matically marks the tape with an index mark at
that location. You can locate the recording you
want to play or skip the recording(s) you don’t
want to watch by either entering the number of
index marks or by scanning. The VCR search-
es forward or backward from the current loca-
tion.
Notes:
• Since the VCR does not display the index
marks, we recommend you list the record-
ings on each tape in order on the tape’s
box, to make it easier to locate a particular
recording on the tape.
• Index search might not function properly
when two or more index marks are close to
each other.
• If you do not press any button within 10
seconds after you select INDEX
SEARCH , the VCR cancels index search.
• If you activate the direct access index
search at a tape position very close to an
index mark, the VCR might not count that
mark. See “Direct Access Index Search.”
• Recording over an index mark erases that
index mark.

Notes:
• PROGRAM INDEX SEARCH appears

the program index list. See “Automatic

• If you have a Model 64, SELECT
SEARCH MODE does not appear when
there is no timer-recorded program in
the program index list.

7), enter
5 to skip past index marks 3
through 6. Or, if the tape is at index mark 9
and you want to watch the recording at
index mark 3, enter
7 to skip past index
marks 9 through 4.
5. Then press to skip forward to that index
mark or to skip backward. When the
tape reaches the selected index mark, the
VCR starts normal playback.
