Locate the beginning of a desired programme by selecting the number of the address signal recorded on the tape at that position.
To be able to use the VHS Address Search function, address signals must be recorded on the tape.
eWhen recording address signals, space them so that the interval between two signals is more than 2 minutes in normal playback
time.

Address signals (numbered search signals) can be recorded
during recording or on already recorded tapes.
A desired 4-digit number (0000-9999) can be assigned to each
address signal.
¢For optimum convenience when later locating desired pro-
grammes, write down the numbers assigned to the recorded
address signals on the cassette label.
