Variable Search System
56
Press the SEARCH button to display the search screen in the stop
mode. When a program is recorded, the starting point is given an
Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS Index Search
System (VISS) cannot recognize index marks made by old VCRs. If
the VCR has trouble finding a mark, it is probably because the
cassette was recorded on a VCR without VISS. If you want to index
two programs in a row, set your VCR to stop, then start recording
each program. Pause has no effect on index marks.
1 Scan and play
Use scan and play when you don’t know exactly where a program
is located on a cassette tape.
• Press right arrow for forward scan or left arrow for reverse scan.
• The display will show “Scan and Play”.
• When an index mark is found, the VCR plays for about five
seconds.
• Press the PLAY button to view that program.
If you don’t press PLAY, the VCR automatically searches for the
next index, or until the end of the tape is reached.
2 Go to 0:00:00 stop
Use this feature when you want to search for the 0:00:00 counter
position on a cassette. Press the CLEAR button at the point on the
tape where you want to set the counter to 0:00:00. Later, while a
cassette is stopped, press the up arrow button. The VCR will
rewind or fast forward, searching for the 0:00:00 counter position,
and then automatically stop at that position.
3 End search
Use this feature when you want to search for a blank position to
record a program on a cassette. While a cassette is stopped, press
down arrow button. The VCR will fast forward, searching for a
blank position, and then automatically stop at that position.
If the VCR reaches the end of the tape during end search, the tape
will be ejected.
