VHS Index Search System
It is very easy to find the beginning of each 
recording automatically, because a special index 
signal is automatically recorded at the start of 
each recorded segment on the tape.
Up to 5 index signals can be searched for in both 
directions.
Preparation
Insert a recorded cassette with index signals.
For example:
Searching for the 2nd recorded segment in the 
forward direction.
Operation
Press [INDEX

• After finding the specific 
recorded segment, playback starts 
automatically.
• For the reverse direction, press [INDEX

both directions.
• The INDEX function only works in the stop 
mode or during playback.

number of lit indicators decreases 1.
• The number of lit indicators decreases by 1

• When a recording is started by pressing [REC
