Using Picture Search
Picture search lets you quickly search a pre-recorded video tape for a particular scene.

For information on inserting
and playing a tape, see pages 5.1 and
5.2.
There’s no sound while you search
for a picture at high speeds.
There may be some horizontal
streaks on the screen while you
search.
This technique is good if you’re
searching through only a small
amount of tape. If you want to
search through a large amount of
tape, stop the tape before pressing
FF or REW.

you want, press and
release the
