REV A - 07/20/01
TIME COUNTER
Your VCR has a time counter that shows the amount of time
the tape has run in hours, minutes, and seconds. This counter
is useful when you want to find specific points on a tape. The
counter will not work when playing blank tapes or on blank
sections of tape, or when the VCR’s power is OFF.
Setting the
Counter
To set the counter to “0h00m00s,” press CANCEL on the
remote control.
You cannot reset the counter if you are using the VCR’s
menus.
The counter will reset to “- h - - m - - s” when you eject a tape.
When you load a tape again, the counter will display
“0h00m00s.”
SEARCHING TECHNIQUES
The VCR lets you search through a tape in a number of
ways, including:
Quick search (CM skip)
– 30 second intervals
Speed search
– visually search
Counter zero stop
– direct to start of recording
Index search
– find specific index points
Search to blank
– find the beginning of the blank section
Quick
Search
(CM Skip)
Quick search lets you skip over the tape you are playing in
about 30 second intervals. It is designed so that you can
quickly speed through any commercials you may have
recorded. To do this:
1. Make sure that you have set the VCR/TV slide switch on
the remote control to the VCR position.
2. While playing a tape, choose the desired search time by
pressing a number button.

The VCR will speed through the selected length of tape, then
resume playback. This screen will show the search time and
the gauge. Each mark on the gauge represents 15 seconds.
The marks will disappear, one by one, every 15 seconds of
the search time. You can select a search time up to 3
minutes.
