digits for minutes. If you enter a wrong digit, press CLEAR and enter the
correct one. Then press F.FWD if you want to move that many minutes
ahead, or REW if you want to move that many minutes backward.
For example, say you want to review a scene that began about 2 minutes
earlier in a video, press 0, 0 and 2 to display 0:02 on the screen. Then
press REW.
The tape rewinds to the place 2 minutes back from where you began, then
starts playback automatically from that spot.
Jump to an Index Mark with INDEX
A quick way to access specific program segments is with the index search
feature. This lets you move through a tape that has several recordings on
it by searching for the INDEX "mark." This function only works with
recordings that have been set up with indexing. You create an INDEX
mark every time you press the REC button while recording. For more on
how this gets recorded, see the section on Recording a Program (page
33).
This VCR's indexing system is based on the VHS Index Search System
(VISS). The new system may not recognize index marks on tapes
recorded on older VCRs.
If the VCR is in PLAY mode, press STOP.
Press DISPLAY. This brings up the Set Go-To Time/Index Screen.
Press 7 for rewind or 9 for forward to begin the index search.
The tape rewinds or fast-forwards until an index mark is detected. During
this search, the words SCAN AND PLAY display on the bottom of your
screen.
When the VCR finds an index mark, it plays 15 seconds of the program
that begins at that spot.
If this is the program you were looking for, press PLAY to resume
normal playback.
If this is not the program you want, don't press anything. After 15
seconds, the VCR will move to the next mark and play a part of that
program. The VCR will continue searching until you press STOP or reach
the end of the tape.
When you find the program you want and press PLAY, the VCR returns to
PLAY mode.
To stop the index search before an index mark is reached, press STOP.
If there are no index marks on the tape, the VCR will just rewind to the
beginning or fast forward to the end.
