pressing the REC button. You can even add time in 30-minute
increments up to 4 hours by pressing the REC button repeatedly;
see page 57.

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.

rewind or fast forward, searching for the 0:00:00 counter position,
