CHECKING THE AMOUNT OF TAPE REMAINING
When you load a video tape into the VCR it can calculate approximately the amount of
video tape remaining in hours and minutes. This is useful in determining whether or not there is
sufficient tape left to make a recording. When a video tape is playing, the amount of tape
remaining is calculated for you automatically. To display the amount of video tape remaining:
1.
Load the video tape into the VCR
2.
Press the
DISPLAY
button on the remote control as many times as necessary until
“R” appears on the VCR display. The tape will wind forward and then return to its original
position. The tape remaining will be shown on the VCR display in hours and minutes. By
pressing the
TAPE SPEED
button on the remote control the remaining time will
change between extended play, long play and standard play. For example:
In standard play mode, 1 hour 23 minutes is left on the tape:
In long play mode, 2 hours 46 minutes is left on the tape:
In extended play mode, 4 hours 9 minutes is left on the tape:
