This feature lets you quickly rewind or fast forward to the
start of recordings.
● Index Marks are made automatically at the start of all
recordings.They are not made where recording pauses.
The time gap between Index Marks should be greater than
one minute for SP recording and three minutes for SLP
recording.This means recordings should be one (SP) or
three (SLP) minutes long. Otherwise, Index Search may not
find the start of the recording. In some cases, Index Marks at
the beginning of a videotape cannot be detected.
