System Outline
INDEX Plus+ is a video tape indexing and management
system that gives you:
1. Random access to programs you have recorded,
2. An easy way to organize your video library, and
3. Simplified timer recording.
INDEX Plus+ also enables automatic setting of time
and date.
For programs recorded using the HR-IP820U,
program data is automatically stored in the VCR's
memory. Tapes made using a non-INDEX Plus+ VCR
can be indexed retroactively, and their index data will
also be stored in the deck's memory. This allows you
to create a video library, providing both organization
and quick, precise access to all programs.
The Program data is obtained from a host channel.
The host channel transmits the program schedule and
channel identification for broadcast and cable TV
stations. This is called Channel Specific Program
Guide data (CSPG). Program Related Information
(PRI) for the program currently being received may
also be sent by the TV station broadcasting the
program. In some cases a non-host station may send
its own program schedule (CSPG).
INDEX Plus+ is an inherently flexible system. For
example, when you initiate a search for a particular
program, there are multiple options from which the
VCR can choose. It selects the method that will most
quickly and accurately find the program, depending on
the type of tape used (see page 13 for details on tape
types).
Channel Related Information Screen
These screens display various types of information
which can include the date and time, channel number,
channel name, name of program and time remaining
of the program currently being received (refer to page
10 of this instruction manual).
Channel Specific Program Guide (CSPG) Screen
Programming schedules from host broadcasting
stations are also made available by INDEX Plus+ (refer
to page 10 of this instruction manual). The necessary
operations, as described later in this manual, can be
performed simply and in a relatively short time.
Program Related Information (PRI) Screen
Depending on the program, you may also have
access to certain information (PRI) related to a
program being broadcast (refer to page 11 of this
instruction manual). This information could be in the
form of stats of one of the players in a baseball game,
a recipe from a cooking show, or questions and
answers from a quiz show or educational program.
NOTE: Video publishing using INDEX Plus+ is a
future possibility. Education, exercise, cooking and
karaoke are potential themes. The videos may be
released as video books or magazines, separated
according to subject or category.
