IMPORTANT
The time gauge and remaining time work by detecting control signals on
recorded tapes. Therefore they do not function while playing blank tapes.
The remaining time display may not show the correct remaining time if the Tape
function is incorrectly set, if you are using speed search, if you are using a special
length cassette (such as T-10 length), or if you are using an S-VHS-C or a VHS-C
tape with an adapter.
The remaining time display may not work correctly depending on your tape.

not set the clock, or if there has been a power failure of longer than 30 minutes, the
