the remote commander. For two-digit numbers, press -/-- (ten s digit) followed by
the programme number buttons.

Notes
¥
The DISPLAY information does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-
motion playback.
¥
If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the
counting cycles of the two video systems.
¥
When you insert a non-standard commercially available tape, the remaining time
may not be correct.
¥
The remaining time is intended for rough measurement only.
¥
About 30 seconds after the tape begins playback, the tape remaining time will be
displayed.
