INDEX SIGNAL RECORDING
Indexing your tapes while recording makes it easy to find desired program segments when you
play back the tape in a VCR that has a compatible indexing feature called the "VHS Index
Search System". See your VCR's instruction manual for index playback instructions.
"INDEX" signals are recorded when the following operations are performed.
• When the power is turned on about 4 hours after it is switched off and then recording is
started.
• When the power is turned on after the date is changed to the next day with the power off and
then recording is started.
NOTE: When "DISPLAY" is pressed and "INDEX" is displayed in the viewfinder or LCD
monitor, an "INDEX" signal is recorded when recording is started, and when the "INDEX"
signal has been recorded, "INDEX" disappears.
QUICK EDIT (Edit Search)
The quick edit feature allows you to search for the end of previously recorded material, or find
a particular spot on your tape, to begin your editing, or recording new material. Quick edit is
used while the camcorder is in the record/pause (stand-by) mode. By holding down "F.FWD",
"REW/REVIEW", or "PLAY" you can visually search or play your tape. Releasing the buttons
("F.FWD", "REW/REVIEW", or "PLAY") immediately stops the tape at that position.
