the viewfinder or on the LDC monitor.

Using Memory
The linear time counter memory stops a rewinding tape at approximately 0:00:00M. Activate the counter memory
when you insert a cassette. Since the counter has been reset, you will be able to rewind the tape to that point

playing it back.
1. Insert a tape. The linear time counter appears.
2. Start recording or playback of a cassette.
3. Press the STOP button to stop playback, or press the start/stop recording and set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch
