Index function
The cassette tape may be recorded using the tape
indexing feature for the rapid location of any
section.
To record using the indexing feature
Record as usual. Each time you press the REC or
REC/IRT button to begin recording, an index signal
is recorded on the tape.
The index signal is only recorded on the tape
when you first begin to record. If you use the
pause feature between different recorded
programmes, no new index signal will be
recorded. Press the stop button and then record
between different recordings.
Note:
An index signal is also recorded during
recording pause by pressing the PROG button to
switch the channel to be recorded.
To locate a programme using the index feature
The index function lets you view the first few
seconds of all recordings on the tape. This also
allows you to jot down details of all recordings on
the tape easily.
To locate a programme using the index feature,
turn on the VCR and insert a cassette which was
recorded using the tape indexing feature, then
operate as follows.

Press the rewind
or fast forward
button.
The tape will be rewound or fast forwarded until
an index mark is detected.
When the VCR has located an index mark, it will
enter the playback mode for approximately 15
seconds. This is long enough for you to recognise
the programme. The VCR then winds the tape to
subsequent index marks in sequence.
When you see the programme you want to watch,
press the play
button
to start playback.
The INDEX indicator will disappear from the TV
screen.
