Index search
Indices allow you to mark particular tape sections (beginning of films, sequences, etc.)
to retrieve them quickly. At the beginning of every recording, the video recorder
automatically marks an index on the tape.
To retrieve the previous or next index mark, press C or B; this function requires
the tape to be on STOP.
STATUS
menu
Using the INFO key, you can display the information
concerning video recorder operation (tape type, time
remaining before end of tape, type of sound, image
format, tape speed, channel, time...).
By default, the cassette type shown on the
information screen is E180. Since the remaining time
is deduced from the duration of the cassette, you
must enter the cassette type for E240 and E300
cassettes. Press again the
INFO key; the cassette type is highlighted. Use the ▼
and ▲ keys to display the appropriate cassette type, and finally press OK to
confirm. If you insert a cassette with a duration shorter than 180 minutes, you
need not enter the cassette type; the VCR will calculate automatically the duration
of the cassette.
To reset the counter, call up the
STATUS menu with the INFO key and press the 0000
key (re-setting the counter requires a tape to be loaded).

Playing NTSC tapes
NTSC is the colour television standard used in the United States, in Japan and other
countries. Your video recorder can play VHS-NTSC tapes, but you must have a television
set compliant with the PAL standard. Most of the PAL television sets provide proper
reproduction of the pictures from NTSC tapes.
