VHS Index Search System
The Index system used on the Dual-Deck VCR is the VHS standard indexing
system called

tapes made on other VCRs and camcorders using the VISS
system.

system provides a convenient means to Mark the start of a program or
video scene. The Dual-Deck VCR records
Index Marks

begin recording. You may add Index Marks during playback of prerecorded tapes
to aid in editing. See pages 18 - 19.
During playback, these Index Marks can be located quickly by using the
