Index Function
You can find specific locations on a cassette using your VCR’s index function.
Marking Index Signals
The VCR automatically inserts index signals each time you
use the recording, timer recording or quick-timer recording
functions (index mark). When an index mark is made, INDEX
MARK appears on the TV screen. The index works as a
divider between scenes, and is not numbers. So, when you
specify the index mark later, you have to specify the relative
position from the current position (the first index, the second
index... from the current position). When going from the
recording pause mode to the recording mode, an index is not
inserted.
Appears while the index signal is being
registered.
Automatic Index Mark
An index signal automatically marks the beginning of a
program when you start recording it.
Manual Index Mark
When recording or playing a cassette, you can manually
mark an index signal by pressing INDEX MARK on the
Remote Commander.
NOTES:
• When marking index signals, leave an interval of at
least 3 minutes between them so that the VCR can
detect the signals correctly.
• When you mark an index signal during playback, the
recorded sound, though not erased, is inaudible.
• You cannot mark an index signal in the following
cases:
- On a cassette without a safety tab.
- On an unrecorded portion of a cassette.
- Immediately before a point on the cassetfewhere
the cassette speed (EP or SP) changes.
- When playing a cassette recorded in LP mode. ^
