Press the . or > button repeatedly to locate the recording you want. Each time you press the . or > button, the unit searches for the previous or next search point. When an search point is located, its number is indicated on the monitor screen. The unit starts searching backwards or forwards until the number comes to zero, then plays back the recording. During Photo search, the unit turns to the playback pause mode.

� You cannot add search signals after recording. To add signals only for Auto Repeat, start recording from the point you want to add them. � When recording on this unit, signals for index search do not have information on the day of the week. � Searching may not be done correctly if the signals were not recorded on a piece of Sony-brand digital video equipment. About the cassette memory � A tape with mark has cassette memory. When using the 16 kbits cassette memory, you can store up to 135 search signals. (The number changes depending on the memory capacity of various tapes. It also changes depending on the data size combination of index, title, date, photo, and tape label data stored on a tape.) This unit is capable of storing and retrieving up to 16 kbits of information in cassette memory. � To locate recordings that did not fit in the cassette memory, or to locate recordings in order of their position on the tape, set CM SEARCH on the CM SET menu to OFF. You can use the same procedure to search for a recording on a tape without cassette memory.
For details on the CM SET menu, see �CM SET menu� on page 46 (GB).
Note

How signals are recorded There are four different signal types, one for each search method; index, title, date and photo signals. They are recorded by the digital camcorder (DSR-200/200P, 200A/200AP, PD100/PD100P, PD100A/PD100AP, PD150/PD150P, 250/250P, etc.). However, the type of signal recorded and where it is recorded (on the tape or in the cassette memory) depends on whether the cassette has cassette memory or which type of video equipment is used for recording. Please note that if the signals for a certain search type are not recorded, you cannot do that type of search. For details on the signals used for a particular type of search, refer to the instruction manual of the recorder.

The number of search signals that you can record is limited by the cassette memory space available when you start recording. When you use a previously recorded tape for repeated recordings, make more memory space available by erasing unwanted items using ITEM ERASE or ERASE ALL on the CM SET menu before you start recording.
