Tape indexing
The indexing system used in your VCR is based
on a new VHS Standard Indexing System called
"VISS"
(VHS Index Search System).
It allows
you to directly access specific program seg-
ments.
The new system used in your VCR will
not recognize index marks on tapes made on
older VCR's.
Likewise,
older VCR's
cannot
recognize the "VISS" index marks.
The INDEX
"mark"
is recorded automatically every time the
REC button is pressed.
Note: Normally, an index "mark"
is not recorded
if PAUSE is pressed and released during record-
ing. You must press the RECORD button. If you
are recording two programs -- one immediately
following the other - you must press STOP and
then RECORD to insert an index "mark".
