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
reached, then press STOP.
Press REC/OTR once. When the “INDEX” on-screen indication
goes off, STOP may be pressed. This short recording process
will be sufficient to set an index mark.
This will result in about 10 seconds of the TV commercials to be
overwritten by another recording. Due to the system, the end of
this recording will be followed by a recording gap (noise signal)
of approx. 5 seconds.
Recording several Index marks
Due to the system, only one index mark will be recorded at the
beginning of a recording. If you intend to set several index marks
during a single recording, follow the procedure below:
Video Index Search System
Example: Indexing of TV commercials.
At the point of the recording
where an index mark is to be
set, press PAUSE/STEP. The
unit will switch to the recording
pause mode.
Press CH +/– repeatedly to
switch back to the original TV
program.
Press PAUSE/STEP to
resume recording.
Index Search
Press INDEX + or – during stop or
playback mode.
For Succeeding programs:
Press INDEX +.
For Preceding programs:

(Additional press increases the IN-
DEX NO. up to 9.)
When the INDEX + or – is pressed,
the unit starts searching the INDEX
NO. selected and finds the portion,
then playback starts automatically.
To stop the Index Search, press
STOP.
