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.
the time gauge and the remaining time automatically appear during:
fast forward and rewind (from a stopped tape)
counter zero stop
index searches
rewinding for repeat playback
search to blank
Turn off the time gauge and the remaining time by pressing DISPLAY twice.
to make the time gauge and the remaining time appear:
Press DISPLAY once. The time gauge and remaining time appear on the TV screen,
and the remaining time appears on the front panel display. They disappear after 4
seconds when playing a tape.
To turn off the display, press DISPLAY twice.
IMPORTANT
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 Ta p e
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.
Displaying the Current Time
The current time is shown in the front panel display or the TV screen. If you have
not set the clock, or if there has been a power failure of longer than 30 minutes,
the display will show - : - -. The current time will be displayed when the VCR is off.
To see the current time when the VCR is on:
1 Press DISPLAY twice. The counter will be replaced by the current time.
2 To turn off the current time, press DISPLAY again.
