Selecting the AMS or index function
The AMS (Automatic Music Sensor) function is mainly for karaoke tapes. It
searches for blank spaces (of at least four seconds) between recorded signals
on the sound track of a tape. Use this function to search an index-
incompatible tape. If you are not sure of the way the tape was recorded, try
AMS first.
The index function is for indexed tapes like the tapes recorded with this
VCR. The VCR marks the tape with an index signal at the point where each
recording begins. When you use commercially prerecorded tape, check the
packaging to see if the tape is index-compatible.
