9.3 LOCATING THE START OF ALARM RECORDINGS
The VCR automatically inserts an index signal at the beginning of each alarm re-
cording, so the start of each alarm can be located.
9.3.1 Index Search
During fast forward or rewind, the VCR will search for alarm index signals. When it
finds one, it plays back the tape and stays in still mode.
1. Press the COUNTER MEMORY/SKIP/INDEX button to illuminate INDEX on
the fluorescent display. The number indicator will also be illuminated.
2. Turn the JOG dial to display the number (1-15) corresponding to the alarm
index you want to find.
3. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right (forward direction) or left (reverse direc-
tion). The index number will decrease as each index signal passes. (The in-
dex signal may be hard to find in some recording conditions.)

The VCR will fast forward or rewind until it finds an index signal. It then plays back
for about four seconds in 2H or 6H mode. It repeats this process until reaching the
end or beginning of the tape.
1. Press the COUNTER MEMORY/SKIP/INDEX button to illuminate SKIP on the
fluorescent display.
2. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right or left.
3. Press the PLAY button when the desired location is found. Or, press the STOP
button to end the skip search.
The index signal may be hard to find in some recording conditions.
