Playing a Tape
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program or play
back a segment of a prerecorded tape. It helps locate the beginning or end of
programs you taped. The time counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is
ejected from the VCR.
For example, if a 30-minute program was recorded at the beginning of the
tape, you would:
1. Insert the prerecorded tape.
2. Press DISPLAY twice to display only the time counter on the TV
screen.
3. Press F.FWD on the VCR or FF on the remote to fast forward the
tape until the time counter reads 0:30:00.
4. Press STOP.
This is the approximate end of the program and you can begin
recording at this spot.
5. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
6. Press DISPLAY twice to remove the time counter from the screen
and return to the normal display mode.
Index Search
The VCR has a “VHS Index Search System” that automatically records an
index mark on the tape every time you start recording. During playback you
can locate the program you want to play by the number of index marks.
The VCR will automatically locate the index number you select. The VCR will
search forward or reverse from the location you are on the tape.
1. Insert the prerecorded tape and press STOP.
2. Press SEARCH on the remote to display the INDEX SEARCH
menu on the TV screen.
3. Press two number buttons to enter the number of index marks
you want the VCR to search.
Press CLEAR on the remote to correct an entry.
4. Press F.FWD on the VCR or FF on the remote to search forward or
REW to search in reverse.
5. Press STOP to stop index searching.
Some index marks may be missed by the VCR.
• A mark too close to your location on the tape.
• The mark at the beginning of a recorded segment of five
minutes or less.
• The first index mark on the tape when you start at the beginning
of the tape.
