Index Search
The VCR has a ÒVHS Index Search SystemÓ that automatically records an index mark on the tape
every time you begin recording a program. During playback you can locate the program you want
to play by the number of index marks.
The VCR will automatically locate the index number you select. The VCR will search forward or
reverse from the location you are on the tape.
