repeat playback
You can playback a section of tape over and over using repeat playback. The tape
will play until the next index mark, rewind to the previous index mark, and resume
playing. If there is only one index mark on the tape, then the VCR will play or
rewind to that mark and resume playback. If there is no index mark, the entire
cassette will repeat.
1 Press VIDEO on the remote control to display the video function menu. Press
VIDEO until the Repeat play function appears.
2 To start the playback, turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right.
When the VCR encounters the next mark or the end of the tape, it will
automatically rewind to the previous mark and begin playback again.
The VCR will also search for a blank section of the tape. If the VCR
encounters any blank sections longer than 4 seconds in length, the repeat
playback will begin.
3 Press STOP to cancel the repeat.
IMPORTANT
For the tape recorded in D-VHS format, repeat playback may not work
correctly depending on the recording condition.

minutes or less in EP mode.
Displaying the Time Gauge and the Remaining Time
The time gauge is a graphic representation of your position on a video tape. The
left side of the gauge is the tape start (S), and the right side is the tape end (E).
For a T-120 length tape played at standard (SP) speed, each mark on the gauge
represents about 15 minutes. The remaining time display shows the time, in hours
and minutes, left until the end of a tape.
