Index search
Index search is a way to find specific points on a tape. Before
using index search, index marks are placed at specific places on a
tape. Index search is used to find these marks. Index marks are
added automatically whenever your VCR starts a new recording;
you can also add index marks manually at any point during
recording.
automatic index marks
Whenever recording is begun from the STOP mode, an index mark
is automatically added to the tape. A message will indicate that the
mark is being recorded.
Index marks are not added when you press PAUSE or REC to
begin recording from the record-pause mode.
manual index marks
To add an index mark yourself, press REC on the remote control
while a tape is recording.
Index marks must be added at least one minute apart.
