Jump to an Index Mark with INDEX A quick way to access specific program segments is with the index search feature. This lets you move through a tape that has several recordings on it by searching for the 30 Basic Operations INDEX "mark. " This function only works with recordings that have been set up with indexing. You create an INDEX mark every time you press the REC button while recording. For more on how this gets recorded, see the section on Recording a Program (page 33). This VCR's indexing system is based on the VHS Index Search System (VISS). The new system may not recognize index marks on tapes recorded on older VCRs. This brings up the Set Go-To Time/Index Screen. Press 7 for rewind or 9 for forward to begin the index search. The tape rewinds or fast-forwards until an index mark is detected. During this search, the words SCAN AND PLAY display on the bottom of your screen. When the VCR finds an index mark, it plays 15 seconds of the program that begins at that spot. If this is the program you were looking for, press PLAY to resume normal playback. If this is not the program you want, don't press anything. After 15 seconds, the VCR will move to the next mark and play a part of that program. The VCR will continue searching until you press STOP or reach the end of the tape. When you find the program you want and press PLAY, the VCR returns to PLAY mode. To stop the index search before an index mark is reached, press STOP. If there are no index marks on the tape, the VCR will just rewind to the beginning or fast forward to the end. 31 Basic Operations (Recording) Basic Operations (Recording) Recording a Program Before you Record The VCR must be hooked up properly for recording.
