during recording.

5 minutes long.
Preparations

Operation
1 Press the INDEX button ® (that corresponds to the
direction from the current tape position in which the
desired programme is located on the tape) to start the
index search.
For example, if you want to
search for the 2nd recorded
programme in forward direction,
press the INDEX ►w button ®
twice,
- The VCR fast-forwards or rewinds the tape and
searches for the specified index signal (the beginning of
the desired recorded programme).
