the scene you want to search for, you can easily find
the scene later.

[ON], if you start recording while the tape in stop, the
unit automatically marks an index. While the index is
being marked,

seconds on the Data display screen

indicator is
being displayed.
• If you record on a portion of the tape where an index
has been marked, the index will be erased. You

operations. INDEX WRITE button is disabled in
these operations.
