SEARCHING TECHNIQUES,

Speed
Search
Use speed search to visually search through the contents of a
videotape.
1. While playing a tape, press FF or REW on the front panel
or on the remote control. You will see the picture as it
fast forwards or rewinds. Noise bars may appear in the
pictures.
2. If you press FF or REW and hold it down for about
1 second, the search speed will increase.
3. To resume normal playback, press FF or REW again
quickly, or press PLAY.
IMPORTANT:
The fastest search speed that
allows you to see the picture is about 30 times
normal speed. It is normal for the number of
noise bars on the screen to increase and roll from
top to bottom as the visual search speed
increases. Using speed search for long stretches
of tape may cause the video heads to become
dirty faster.
The
fastest way to move through the tape
is
without a picture, which allows you to search up to
500 times normal speed. To do this, press STOP,
then FF or REW. If you press and hold FF or
REW for more than
2
seconds, the search speed
will slow to 330 times normal speed.
In order to protect your tapes and the VCR heads,
the Fast Forwarding/Rewinding speed will be
slower than 500x under the following conditions:
1. Use of tapes shorter in length than T-120
(for example, T-30, T-60, T-90).
2. Activating fast forwarding or rewinding from
the middle of the tape.
Counter
Zero Stop
Counter zero stop allows you to quickly access the beginning
of a recorded or playback section of a tape. The counter zero
stop will automatically fast forward or rewind the tape to
“0h00m00s and stop.
