GoTo
This gives you the ability to find a location on the media before having to play it.
It is likely that you will want to start playing at a certain time/date, and the VR240
makes this easy. Regardless of whether it is activated from
Ready
or while the
media is playing, the
GoTo
menu operates the same way.
GoTo
enables a submenu that allows you to search for a particular
Time and
Date
, to locate the first and subsequent occurrences of information on an
enabled
Channel
, or to return to one of 4 user-specified
SetMem
locations.
Time/Date
To search for a particular time and date on the media, hit the
Time/Date
soft key and then enter the information requested.
Use the
Cursor
and
Increase
or
Decrease
soft keys to enter the
time and date. You may also use the
Cursor
soft key in
conjunction with the keypad.
Channel#
Operates identically to the other channel selection menus, such as
Monitor
. By selecting (enabling) specific channel(s) you can
search for signals on them while ignoring others. If you use this
option and have not made a channel selection, press the
PlayChan
soft key for access to the
Enable
menu. In order to use
this feature, the media must have a full index. If the index is not
present, or only the
FAST
option was used to recreate it, a
message will instruct you to create a
FULL
index before
performing a channel search.
Memory#
Allows you to find a previously selected location on the media (not
available for marking locations on the hard disk). If you have set
one or more memory locations while playing media, you can
return to them rapidly by using this feature. Refer to paragraph 5-
26 for procedures on setting memory locations.
Hitting
Memory#
allows you to select one of four memories for
which to search. If the memory has been set, it will display the
time and date for which the search will be conducted. If the
memory has not been set, this will be indicated.
Once you have entered the memory #, search time and/or channel #, you can hit one of two
keys:
Start
Commands the unit to search for the location selected. When it is
found, the VR240 will stop searching. After pressing the
Play
transport key, the VR240 will begin playing. If you have entered a
search time that is before the beginning of the stored material, the
display will indicate
NOT Found
and drop back two levels to the
main
Play
menu, at which time the media will be
Paused
.
Because the media index contains the start time, this occurs
immediately; you do not have to actually wait for the search to
proceed and then fail. At this time, you can hit
Search
again if
you wish. Selecting a time that is between the start and end time
but is not actually present, as can happen if your recording is not
continuous, will result in finding and playing the first material found
