Press the SEARCH button to display the search screen in the stop
mode. When a program is recorded, the starting point is given an
Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS Index Search
System (VISS) cannot recognize index marks made by old VCRs. If
the VCR has trouble finding a mark, it is probably because the
cassette was recorded on a VCR without VISS. If you want to index
two programs in a row, set your VCR to stop, then start recording
each program. Pause has no effect on index marks.

Use scan and play when you don’t know exactly where a program
is located on a cassette tape.

Use this feature when you want to search for the 0:00:00 counter
position on a cassette. Press the CLEAR button at the point on the

cassette is stopped, press up arrow button. The VCR will rewind or
fast forward, searching for the 0:00:00 counter position, and then
automatically stop at that position.

will be ejected.
