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 GO-TO/INDEX 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. 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 41).
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 GO-TO/INDEX on the remote control. This brings up the Set Go-To
Time/Index Screen.
Press REW or F.FWD 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.
If this is the program you were looking for, press GO-TO/INDEX and the VCR will
stop searching. Or press PLAY to resume normal playback.
If this is not the program you want, don't press anything. After 15 seconds, the VCR
will move to the next mark and play a part of that program. The VCR will continue
searching until you press GO-TO/INDEX again or reach the end of the tape.
When you find the program you want and press GO-TO/INDEX, the VCR returns to
PLAY mode.
