screen: This indicates that the counter's memory function is engaged.
Now when you rewind the tape, it will automatically stop at the spot where
you cleared the counter. (Notice it moves just past the marker and then back
to it.) Press PLAY to watch the tape from that preselected spot.
Press DISPLAY to take the counter display off. The spot is still in memory
until you set a new one or until the tape is ejected.
Jump Forward or Backward with GO-TO
Using the time counter, you can search for a spot a certain number of
minutes before or after your current position on the tape.
Press STOP, if tape is playing, and press DISPLAY, then press 8 button to
bring up the Set Go-To Time screen:
Select minutes by pressing buttons 0 to 9 - one digit for hours, then two digits
for minutes. If you enter a wrong digit, press CLEAR and enter the correct
one. Then press F.FWD if you want to move that many minutes ahead, or
REW if you want to move that many minutes backward.
For example, say you want to review a scene that began about 2 minutes
earlier in a video, press 0,0 and 2 to display 0:02 on the screen. Then press
REW.
The tape rewinds to the place 2 minutes back from where you began, then
starts playback automatically from that spot.
Jump to an Index Mark with INDEX
A quick way to access specific program segments is with the index search
feature. This lets you move through a tape that has several recordings on it
by searching for the INDEX "mark." This function only works with recordings
that have been set up with indexing. You create an INDEX mark every time
you press the REC button while recording. For more on how this gets
recorded, see the section on Recording a Program (page 33).
This VCR's indexing system is based on the VHS Index Search System
(VISS). The new system may not recognize index marks on tapes recorded
on older VCRs.
If the VCR is in PLAY mode, press STOP.
Press DISPLAY. This brings up the Set Go-To Time/Index Screen.
Press 7 for rewind or 9 for forward to begin the index search.
The tape rewinds or fast-forwards until an index mark is detected. During this
search, the words SCAN AND PLAY display on the bottom of your screen.
When the VCR finds an index mark, it plays 15 seconds of the program that
begins at that spot.
