Playing a Tape
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program or play back a
segment of a pre-recorded tape. It helps to quickly locate the end or beginning of
the programs you taped. The time counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is
ejected from the VCR.
For example, if a 30-minute program was recorded at the beginning of the tape, you
would;
1. Insert the pre-recorded tape.
2. Press DISPLAY twice to display only the time counter on the TV screen.
3. Press F.FWD to fast forward the tape until the time counter reads
0:30;OQ.
This is the end of the program and you can begin recording at this spot.
4. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
5. Press DISPLAY twice to remove the time counter from the screen.
Using the Playback Features
Memory-Stop Feature
The memory-stop feature allows you to quickly return to a counter reading of
0:00:00 M at any spot on the tape. This is especially convenient when you want to
watch a segment of the tape several times.
Using the Time Counter's Memory-Stop Feature
1. Insert a pre-recorded tape.
2. Press DISPLAY three times to turn on the memory-stop feature.
An M appears with the time counter to let you know the memory-stop
feature is turned on.
3. Press REW, PLAY or F.FWD to move to the spot on the tape where you
want to return to quickly.
4. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00 M at the spot on the
tape where you want to return to quickly.
5. Continue playing the tape.
6. Press STOP and then REW or F.FWD when you want to return to the
spot you selected on the tape.
The VCR searches for the spot and stops at the counter reading of
0:00:00 M. During fast forwarding, the tape advances to the end of
the tape and switches to rewind searching for 0:00:00 M.
7. Press DISPLAY to turn off memory-stop feature.
