To calculate the Index Number
Count forward or backward each recording starting point, including
the recording you want to see, from wherever you are on the tape.
Example 1:
If you are watching recording 4 and you want to watch recording 2, count the
start points to number 2. The total is 3. Enter 3 in step “3” and press REW.
Example 2:
If you are watching recording 2 and you want to watch recording 6, count
the start points to number 6. The total is 4. Enter 4 in step “3" and press FF.
NOTE: i indicates start points of each recording.
Make each entry within 10 seconds, or the Index Search mode will be canceled.
Index marks will be placed for Timer recordings as well.
If the Direct Access index search is initiated extremely close to an index mark, the index mark may not
be counted in the search.
In the Program Index Search, this VCR can be memorized 8 programs in order of recording. If over 8
programs, the first program will be deleted and the new program will be listed.
