Basic Recording  
Variable Search System  
Press the SEARCH button to display the search screen in the stop  
mode. 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.  
You can record a TV show in progress by inserting a blank tape and  
pressing the REC button. You can even add time in 30-minute  
increments up to 4 hours by pressing the REC button repeatedly;  
see page 57.
