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 twice 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 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.
