Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program or play
back a segment of a prerecorded tape. It helps locate the beginning or end
of programs you taped. The time counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the
tape is ejected from the VCR.
For example, if a 30-minute program was recorded at the beginning of the
tape, you would:
1. Insert the prerecorded tape. Press STOP. Make sure the tape is
rewound.
2. Press DISPLAY three times to display only the time counter on the
TV screen.
3. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
4. Press FF on remote or turn the SHUTTLE DIAL on the VCR
clockwise to fast forward the tape until the time counter reads
0:30:00. Press STOP.
This is the approximate end of the program and you can begin
recording at this spot.
5. Press DISPLAY twice to remove the time counter from the screen
and return to the normal displays.
Index Search
The VCR has a ÒVHS Index Search SystemÓ that automatically records an
index mark on the tape every time you start a new recording. During
playback you can locate the program you want to play by the number of
index marks.
The VCR will automatically locate the index number you select. The VCR
will search forward or reverse from the location you are on the tape.
1. Insert the prerecorded tape and press STOP.
2. Press SEARCH on the remote to display the INDEX SEARCH menu
on the TV screen.
3. Press two number buttons to enter the number of index marks you
want the VCR to search.
Press CLEAR to correct an entry.
4. Press FF on remote or turn the SHUTTLE DIAL clockwise toward
FWD on the VCR to search forward.
Press REW on remote or turn the SHUTTLE DIAL counterclockwise
toward REW on the VCR to search in reverse.
5. Press STOP to stop index searching.
