Model 104  (160-0541)        Index Search System       Faxback Doc. # 3946

Each time you press RECORD to start a recording, your VCR automatically
marks the tape with an index signal.  During playback you can quickly
locate a specific recording on the tape by using index scan or index
search.  The VCR can scan or search for up to 99 index signals.

NOTES:  If you press PAUSE to temporarily stop the recording (for example,
        during commercials), an index signal is not applied to the tape. 
        If you want more index signal marks on the same program, press
        INDEX during recording, then index signal will be recorded.

        We recommend that you list the index number for the recordings on
        the VHS cassette label or box.

        You must record index signals at least 1 minute in SP mode and at
        least 3 minutes in apart in SLP mode.

INDEX SCAN

The index scan feature plays back the first 5 seconds after each index
signal on a recording so you can quickly find a section of the recording
you want to watch.

Follow these steps to use index scan.

1.  While in the stop or play mode, press INDEX on the remote control.

2.  Press FAST-F to search forward, or REWIND to search backward.  SCAN
    AND PLAY appears on the TV screen.

    When the VCR locates an index signal, the first 5 seconds of the
    recording plays.  Then the tape advances or rewinds to the next index
    signal.

3.  Press PLAY or STOP to stop index scan.

NOTE:  If the tape reaches the end of the tape during index scan, the VCR
       stops and the tape automatically rewinds.

INDEX SEARCH

The index search function advances or rewinds a tape directly to the 
desired index signal.

Follow these steps to use index search.

1.  Count the number of index signals you want to skip.

    If you search forward, count the next index signal as the first one to
    skip.

    If you search backward, count the current index signal as the first
    one to skip.

2.  Before or during tape play, press INDEX on the remote control.

3.  Enter the number of index signals you want to skip, using the remote
    control's number buttons.

    NOTE:  Precede a single-digit entry with 0.  If you press a wrong
           button, press CLEAR and then press the correct button.

4.  Press FAST-F or REWIND.

    When the VCR detects an index signal, the counter display decreases by
    one.  When the counter reaches the number of signals you programmed
    the VCR to skip, the search stops and the playback automatically
    starts.
