INDEX SIGNAL RECORDING/PLAYBACK
Indexing your tapes while recording makes it easy to
find desired program segments when you play back the
tape in your camera/recorder or a VCR that has a com-
patible indexing feature called the “VHS Index Search
System”.
Index Recording
“INDEX” signals are recorded when the following
operations are performed.
¢ When the “INDEX” button is pressed during
recording.
¢ When the “INDEX” button is pressed in the
record/pause (stand-by) mode and “INDEX” is dis-
played in the viewfinder, then recording is started.
¢ When power is turned on about 4 hours after it is
switched off and then recording is started.
¢ When power is turned on after the date is changed
to the next day with the power off and then record-
ing is started.
NOTE: When “INDEX” button is pressed, “INDEX” is
displayed in the viewfinder, and when an “INDEX” sig-
nal is recorded, “INDEX” disappears.
EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT
