NOTES:
Index marks are a
function of JVC-
made video
decks. Therefore,
I S
NDEX EARCH
cannot be used
on commercially
produced tapes,
or tapes recorded
on non-JVC brand
VCR's, since these
tapes will not have
the JVC index
marks recorded
on them.
If you try to begin
an index search at
a point on the
tape between two
programs, I
NDEX
S may not

work correctly.
Either fast-forward,
or rewind the tape
a bit and tr y I
