the search screen.
When a program is recorded, the starting point is given
an Index mark for easy location. However, the VHS
Index Search System(VISS) cannot recognize index
marks made by old VCRs. If the VCR has trouble
finding a mark, it is probably because the cassette was
recorded on a VCR without VISS.
If you want to index two programs in a row, set your
VCR to stop. Then start recording each program.
Pause has no effect on index marks.

While a cassette is playing or stopped, press ▼button. The VCR will rewind or fast forward,
searching to a blank position, and then automatically stop at that position.
