INDEX NO. (up to 9)
or is displayed
Whenever a recording is begun, an
invisible index mark is recorded on
the tape. These index marks are all
identical, and each mark means: “Here
starts a new recording”. Every DVD/
VCR equipped with the Video Index
Search System (VISS) can locate
these marks at the beginning of any
recording.
Notes:
• When you record an INDEX mark at
the very beginning of the tape, the mark
may not be found.
• During INDEX search, the tape may
stop and begin to play at a slightly
different location.
• INDEX may not function properly with
old or worn out video tapes.
• INDEX marks may not be found if it is
extremely close to the point where the
search began.
• In recording, if you stop recording tem-
porarily, the INDEX mark is not re-
corded on the tape.
Start playback and wait until the
end of the TV commercial is

this recording will be followed by a recording gap (noise signal)
of approx. 5 seconds.
