-Tape Counter -------------------------------------------
If you always reset the tape counter when you insert a
tape, you can note the counter reading at the
beginning of each program you record for future
reference. The label kit provided with RCA tapes can
be used to list programs and counter readings.
1. Turn on your TV and tune it to the VCR
channel (3 or 4).
2. Press DISPLA T button twice on the remote
control to display the tape counter on the TV
screen.
3. Press CLEAR button on the remote control to
set the counter to “0000".
-On-Screen Display --------------------------------------
Whenever you turn on your VCR or change its
status-stop to play, play to stop, change channels,
etc.—the new' status of the VCR is displayed on the
TV screen automatically.
You can manually call up the VCR status display to
the screen when desired by pressing DISPLA 1' on the
remote control. The display will disappear from the
screen in a few seconds,
• Press the DISPLA T button once to call up the
normal display.
• Press the DISPLAY button twice, to call up the
tape counter display. This display w’ill remain on
the TV screen.
• Press the DISPLA Y button three times to remove
all displays from the screen.
|-Memory Stop --------------------------------------------
When you press the DISPLA Y button on the
remote control twice to turn on the counter
display, you automatically turn on the “Memory
Stop" feature. When the counter is displayed on
the TV screen and in the VCR's display, the VCR
will stop automatically at “0CX)0” whenever you use
the REW or E.FWD button. If you are rewinding,
simply press the .R£IT button again to continue to
the end of the tape.
If you press the F.FWD button and the counter
never reaches “0000” between that point and the
end of the tape, the VCR will continue to the end
of the tape, switch to rewind, and then stop when
the counter reaches “0000”.
Since you can reset the counter to “0000” at any
point on the tape, memory stop is convenient for
finding the beginning of a recording or the
beginning of a particular segment you want to
repeat.
This is the procedure to use when you are going to
start recording somewhere beyond the start of the
tape.
1. Turn on the VCR and press the DISPLAY
button on the remote control twice to obtain the
counter reading.
2. Use the F.FWD and STOP buttons to locate the
point where you will begin recording. Press the
CLEAR button on the remote control before
you begin recording.
3. Press STOP when you are finished recording,
and then press the REW button. The cassette
w ill rew'ind to counter reading “0000" and stop.
4. Press PL4 Y to view the segment you have
selected, or press REW to rewind the cassette
completely.
» Use this procedure during playback to mark a
point to be repeated.
1. Press the DISPLAY button on the remote
control twice to display the counter.
2. When you see the beginning of the part you
wish to \ iew several times, use SEARCH to
locate a point slightly before the desired scene.

playback, and then press CLEAR on the remote
control just before the desired scene appears.
