For PAL or MESECAM tapes, index signals should be separated by at
least 1 minute of tape (SP mode) or2 minutes (LP mode) so that the unit
can detect them properly.
For NTSC tapes, index signals should be separated by at least 1 minute
of tape (SP mode) or 3 minutes (EP mode) so that the unit can detect
them properly.
During an INDEX SEARCH
operation,
an index signal may not be
detected if it is extremely close to the point where the search began.
Index signals may not be detected on damaged or worn out tapes.
Index signals may not be detected at the beginning of recordings where
the tape speed is different from the previous program.
Index signals cannot be marked on unrecorded portions of a tape, or
on tapes without an erasure prevention tab.
