• Other playback options and features
are explained on pages 17-20.
• Moisture may condense inside the
unit when you move it from a cold
place to a warm place, after heating
a cold room, or when the humidity is
high. When moisture accumulates in
your VCP, the POWER light will blink
on the VCP and the symbol will
appear on the TV screen. If you try to
play a tape in a VCP in which mois-
ture has accumulated, the tape and
the VCP could be damaged. If the
POWER light is blinking, keep the
VCP power on (but do not play a
tape) for at least two hours. When
the POWER light stops blinking, it is
safe to play a tape.

Status Symbols/Real-time Tape Counter
A status symbol and the real-time tape counter will appear on the
TV screen for five seconds when you press certain function but-
tons (PLAY, FF, EJECT, etc.). Or, you may press the DISPLAY but-
ton on the remote control to see the status symbol or counter.
The meaning of each status symbol is given here.
The counter shows the elapsed playing time of the tape from the
point at which you set the counter to 0:00:00. The counter is
automatically reset to 0:00:00 when you first insert a tape.
If you want to refer to a particular point on a tape later, play the
tape to that point. Then, press the COUNTER RESET button on
the remote control to set the counter to 0:00:00 at that point.
Later, when you are searching for that particular point, press the
DISPLAY button so you can see the counter as you fast forward
or rewind the tape to the 0:00:00 point.

and counter during playback.
