Search Functions
Jet Navigator
This VCR can display a list of the recorded programmes on
the inserted video cassette on the TV screen. You can then
select the desired programme, and the VCR will quickly locate
its beginning and start playback.
Conditions for correct operation of the Jet Navigator function:
• The tape length of the inserted cassette must be set
correctly. (See page 11.)
• The VCR must not be in the timer recording standby mode.
• A programme at least 15 minutes must be recorded on the
tape.
Preparations
• Display the VCR picture on the TV.
• Be sure to set [JET NAVIGATOR] to [ON] (see page 11) and
perform recording.
Operations
1 Press [NAVI] (4) to display the
Jet Navigator list.
• Up to 14 programme data that
have been recorded are
displayed on the Jet Navigator
list.
(7 programme data for each page)
• When more than 15 programs have been recorded in one
cassette, the programme data are deleted from the first
one.
• When pressing [NAVI] (4) during playback, playback
stops and the Jet Navigator list appears.
2 Press [NAVI] (4) several times to select the
programme that you want to locate and play back.
After more than 3 seconds, the VCR starts to search
for the beginning of the selected programme and
playback starts automatically.
• Every time you press [NAVI] (4),
the programme shifts above.
• If, after playback has started, you
want to search for the beginning
of the same or another
programme, press [NAVI] (4).
Playback stops and the Jet
Navigator list appears.
To Cancel the Jet Navigator list:
Press [MENU] (7).
To Set the Category
The category setting allows you to
find what kind of programmes are
recorded by the character and the
icon indications.
1 Press [Cursor] (37) (1) while
the Jet Navigator list appears.
Then, select the desired
category by pressing [Cursor] (37) (3421).
2 Press [MENU] (7).
To Delete the Jet Navigator Data of a Single Video
Cassette Tape:
Keep [CANCEL] (15) pressed for more than 5 seconds while
the Jet Navigator list appears.
[ss] appears on the list.
See page 11 on the way to delete all the Jet Navigator data
stored in the VCR memory.
Notes:
• The Jet Navigator list is stored in each cassette.
• Signals approximately 10 seconds before and after the
current tape position are checked. (During this checking,
[CHECKING JET NAVIGATOR DATA.] is displayed on the
TV screen.)
• Checking cannot be performed properly when signals are
attempted to be checked at portions of the tape where there
are no signals such as at unrecorded portions of the tape. In
this case, press [NAVI] (4) at a portion of the tape where a
programme has been recorded of this VCR. This will allow
signal checking to be performed more reliably. When a
signal is still not found, [CAN NOT FIND JET NAVIGATOR
DATA.] is displayed on the TV and you cannot find the
beginning of the programme.
• Up to 20 cassettes and 50 programmes can be registered.
• If 50 recorded programme data are already stored in
memory and you attempt to store timer recording data for
another programme, the message [REMAINING
PROGRAMME 0. DELETE JET NAVIGATOR DATA.]
appears. If you attempt to make a new recording, this same
message also appears after you insert the cassette and the
Jet Navigator data is checked. As each timer recording or
manual recording is finished, the programme data is deleted,
starting from the oldest data.
• When a new programme is attempted to be recorded after
programmes equivalent to 20 cassettes are already stored in
memory, [REMAINING CASSETTE 0. FOR JET
NAVIGATOR.] is displayed. Programmes recorded without
deleting data as instructed are not registered in the list.

When Recording Over the Same Location on a Tape:
• The originally recorded programme is deleted from the list.
• Programme contents starting near the start and end of the
newly recorded programme (within 10 minutes before the
start and after the end of the newly recorded programme) is
also erased.
(Although old programme contents are also similarly erased
in the case of ordinary recording, the newly recorded
programme is not registered in the list.)
To Demonstrate the Jet Navigator Function
Keep [NAVI] (4) pressed for more than 5 seconds without
inserting a cassette tape.
To Check the Recorded Programming Data
(Time Stamp Function)
When playback starts after searching
with Jet Navigator function or index
search function, recorded
programming data (called Time
Stamp) appears on the TV screen for
approx. 5 seconds.
Preparation
• Display the VCR picture on the TV.
Note:
• Time Stamp does not appear if the beginning of the Jet
Navigator data is not recorded 10 minutes before and after
the current tape position even when index signals are
recorded.
To Find the Beginning of Each Recording
(VHS Index Search System)
This VCR automatically records special index signals on the
tape every time a recording is started. The Index search
function makes use of these index signals to let you find the
beginning of a desired programme quickly and easily.
Index signals are automatically recorded in the following
cases:
• When you start a recording by pressing [REC] (27) or [REC/
OTR] (41).
• When a timer recording starts.
• When you press [REC] (27) on the remote control during
recording.
Conditions for correct operation of the Index search
function:
• The VCR must be in the stop mode or in the playback mode.
• Each programme recorded on the tape must be at least
5 minutes long.
Preparations
• Display the VCR picture on the TV.
• Insert a recorded video cassette.
Operation
1 Press [INDEX] (30) (that corresponds to the direction
from the current tape position in which the desired
programme is located on the tape) to start the index
search.
For example, if you want to search for the 2nd
recorded programme in forward direction, press
[INDEX] (30) (L) twice.
• The VCR fast-forwards or rewinds the tape and searches
for the specified index signal (the beginning of the desired
recorded programme).
When it is found, playback starts automatically.
To Cancel the Index Search or to Stop Playback:
Press [Stop] (9).
Notes:
• Searching in either direction is possible up to the 20th index
signal.
• If you press either of [INDEX] (30) too many times, simply
press the other [INDEX] (30) (indicating the opposite
direction) to correct it. In this way, you can reduce the
displayed figure down to 1.
• The figure on the VCR display decreases by 1 every time an
index signal is located.

Adjusting the Playback Picture
Under normal conditions, the VCR automatically adjusts the
playback picture for optimum quality. However, in some cases
it may be necessary to adjust it manually.
If the Picture Contains Noise Bars and It Is Not Clear to
See (Tracking adjustment):
If noise bars appear during normal playback, slow playback or
still playback, follow the operations below.
During normal or slow playback,
press [TRACKING/V-LOCK] (32) _
or ` until the bars noise disappear.
• If the noise bars appear during still
playback, switch the VCR over to
the slow playback mode and then
adjust the tracking as explained

To Return to Auto Tracking:
Press both [TRACKING/V-LOCK] (32) _ and `
simultaneously.

pressed until the picture stops scrolling.
Precautions:
• With certain TV models and tapes, it may not be possible to
adjust the tracking.
• If you play back a cassette that was recorded on another
VCR, the picture quality may be inferior and it may be
necessary to adjust the tracking. Also, on some TVs, the
picture may scroll up and down in the special playback
functions.
However, these are not malfunctions.
