Searching without cassette memory
When you use a tape without cassette memory, the unit searches in the
order of the actual positions of the recordings, regardless of the setting of
CM SEARCH on the CM SET menu.
When you use a tape with cassette memory, set CM SEARCH on the CM
SET menu to OFF.
For details on the CM SET menu, see "CM SET menu" on page 46
The title search is not available in searching without cassette memory.

Press the button repeatedly to locate the recording you

Each time you press the

button, the unit searches for the
previous or next search point. When an search point is located, its
number is indicated on the monitor screen.
The unit starts searching backwards or forwards until the number
comes to zero, then plays back the recording. During Photo search, the
unit turns to the playback pause mode.
How signals are recorded
There are four different signal types, one for each search method; index,
title, date and photo signals. They are recorded by the digital camcorder
(DSR-200/200P, 200A/200AP, PD100/PD100P, PD100A/PD100AP,
PD150/PD150P, 250/250P, etc.). However, the type of signal recorded and
where it is recorded (on the tape or in the cassette memory) depends on
whether the cassette has cassette memory or which type of video
equipment is used for recording. Please note that if the signals for a certain
search type are not recorded, you cannot do that type of search. For details
on the signals used for a particular type of search, refer to the instruction
manual of the recorder.
