Tape position.
Establishing your current position on the
tape.
The tape length is indicated on the cassette in minutes, e.g.:
’T160’ is 160 minutes of playing time (= 3:00 hours).
You will find the tape length printed on the left hand side of
the front narrow edge.
However, the actual playing time might be a little longer than
specified (e.g.: 3:05 hours).
You can read the exact number of minutes played in the
display during fast forward, rewinding, recording, playing
back and pause/stop, e.g.: ’U1:25’.
Some more useful tips:
* The video recorder has to calculate the tape position
when a new cassette is inserted. The video recorder will
therefore display ’ - : - -’ first,and after a few seconds
the used playing time will be displayed.
* Only use T160 cassettes.
Other cassettes will indicate a wrong tape position.
