REMAINING TAPE RUNNING TIME DISPLAY
 Since the reel diameter and tape thickness are not common to all cassettes, the time
count differs from cassette to cassette. Use the time display as an informative number
only.
 During recording, the remaining tape running time is estimated based on the current
recording mode (SP, LP, SLP).
 During playback the remaining tape running time is calculated based on the current
playback mode.
 Remain time will not appear on TV screen while in the Fast forward or Rewind Mode.
 There will be a delay of up to 1 minute before the remain time appears on the TV
display.
Note:
The use of the following tapes will result in difference between the displayed remaining time
and actual time to the end of the tape:
 Tape housed in a VHS-C cassette adapter.
 Shorter tape length such as a 10-minute cassette.
 T-180 cassette. In this case the display may read 2 Hours, 40 Minutes at the start point
of the tape in SP mode.
