Tape position/Index search
Tape position:
The elapsed playback time, given to the hour
and minute, appears in the display.
When you load a cassette, the video recorder must first
calculate the playing time. Therefore, ’-:--’ appears first and
only after the tape has been running for a few seconds the
playing time will be shown.
The playback time displayed can be incorrect when using
camcorder cassettes or with cassettes made for NTSC-VHS
equipment.
Index search:
At the beginning of each recording, the video
recorder marks the tape with a code mark. You can search for
these code marks on the tape. Once the video recorder finds
the code mark or a blank space, it will automatically switch to
playback.

To select the next or the previous code mark, press the

E
button and then press the

ton.
Note:
You cannot use the function ’Index search’ with
recordings made on another video recorder that does not
have this code mark function.
