Locating the marking position
(CCD-TR910 only)
You can locate the beginning of a desired program easily by marking an index signal
during recording or playback and searching for it later.
Marking an index signal
You can mark an index signal during recording or playback.
When marking at the beginning of recording or playback
Press INDEX MARK on the Remote Commander in recording standby or playback
pause mode. The INDEX MARK indicator appears in the viewfinder with the MARK
indicator flashing. When recording or playback starts, the MARK indicator stops
flashing. This shows that the index signal is being marked. Then the INDEX MARK
indicator will disappear.
When marking during recording or playback
Press INDEX MARK on the Remote Commander at the point you want to locate later.

Notes on marking
• Make sure you mark index signals at more than two-minute intervals. Otherwise, you
may not be able to search for them correctly.
• If you stop recording or playback while the index signal is being marked (the INDEX
MARK indicator lights in the viewfinder), the search may not be completed correctly.
• If you mark an index signal on the tape with the Data Code or RC time cord recorded,
the Data Code will be erased at the point on which the index signal is marked. When
playing back this tape, the camcorder keeps displaying the Data Code immediately
before the erased one. If the Data Code does not exist for more than 30 seconds, the
Data Code displays bars (—).
• A black band appears when you mark index signal during playback, and the sound
cannot be heard. This does not affect the picture and sound that are already recorded.
• An index signal is marked automatically when you start recording with the POWER
switch to VTR. When you start recording from recording pause mode, however, an
index signal is not marked.
• You cannot mark an index signal on a tape with the red mark on the cassette exposed.
• You cannot mark an index signal when you are using 5 SEC, A or fading out when
the POWER switch is set to CAMERA.
