clock/counter
Your VCR features a counter which displays the amount of time that a video cassette has been playing, a 24-hour
clock and zero return for quick access to sections of video.
Note:
The counter can
be viewed both on-screen
and in the front panel
display of your unit.
The zero return feature
allows you to reset the
counter to 00:00 (on the
front panel of your unit) at
any point during playback,
and then automatically
rewind or fast-forward to
that point.
1
View the counter
Press the display/call button during VCR playback.
The counter displays the amount of time (in hours,
minutes and seconds) elapsed since playback began.
2
Counter reset
Before playback or recording, press counter reset
to reset the counter to 00:00 (on the front panel).
When you load a tape the counter will reset.
If you rewind a tape beyond 00:00, a minus sign (–) will
appear in front of the counter.
3
Zero return
After playback or recording, when your VCR is
switched on but stopped, press the zero return
button. The cassette will rewind or fast-forward
automatically until the counter reaches 00:00.
This feature is useful for returning to a point in a tape you
marked earlier (by pressing counter reset during
playback) and wish to view again.
4
Clock/counter display
You can choose to show either the CLOCK or the
TAPE COUNTER in the front panel display.
CLOCK displays the current time in the VCR display.
COUNTER displays the time elapsed (in minutes) since
playback started.
To switch between CLOCK or COUNTER, press the
clock/counter button.
