memorize that spot. Begin in either STOP or PLAY mode.
• Press DISPLAY twice to show the counter on the TV screen.
Begin recording or playing back a tape. Notice the counter remains on the screen.
• At the point that you want to go back to, press CLEAR on the remote control. This resets the
counter to 0:00:00.
Press STOP when you are done recording or playing back the tape.
• Press DISPLAY again and "M" will display below the counter on the TV screen. This indicates
that the counter's memory function is engaged. The counter also appears on the VCR's display.
Now when you rewind the tape, it will automatically stop at the spot where you cleared the
counter. (Notice it moves just past the marker and then back to it.) Press PLAY to watch the tape
from that preselected spot.
• Press DISPLAY to take the counter display off. The spot is still in memory until you set a new
one or until the tape is ejected.
Jump Forward or Backward with INDEX
Using the time counter, you can search for a spot a certain number of minutes before or after
your current position on the tape.
Press STOP, if tape is playing, and press INDEX to bring up the Set Go-To Time screen:
Select minutes by pressing buttons 0 to 9 - one digit for hours, then two digits for minutes. 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 and PLAY on the remote control at the same time or the
REC/IRT button on the VCR. For more on how this gets recorded, see the section on Recording
a Program (page 30).
