How signals are recorded
The VCR marks the tape when:
– Recording starts from the stop mode.
– Recording is resumed after changing the program position during
recording pause.
– Timer recording starts.
There are three different signals for each search method. The type of
signal recorded and where it is recorded (on the tape itself or in the
cassette memory) depends on the video equipment used for recordings.
Please note that if the signals for certain search type are not recorded,
you cannot do that type of search.

Tips
• If the search type is not
displayed on the TV screen,
press the DISPLAY button
on the remote commander.
• If you use a tape with ,
mark, the cassette memory
stores up to 33 index
signals. (The number
changes depending on the
combination of index, date,
and photo data stored.)
This VCR is capable of
storing and retrieving up to
16 kbits of cassette memory.
• To locate recordings whose
signals are not stored in the
cassette memory, or to
locate recordings in order of
their position on the tape,
set CASSETTE MEMORY in
the ADVANCED OPTIONS
menu to ”OFF.” Use the
procedure for “Searching in
order of the actual positions
of the recordings on the
tape” to search for a
recording.
• You can also search for
programs using the “Index
Tieler” signal, but the data
such as the recording date
and time and the title does
not appear in the display
window.
Notes
• Each program is indexed at
its beginning. If you record
another program over the
beginning of the first
program, you will not be
able to search the original
program.
• Searching may not be done
correctly if the signal was
not recorded on a Sony-
brand digital video
equipment.
If D is recorded
over the
beginning of B...

* The index signal cannot be recorded in the cassette memory (DCR-PC7 only).
