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 when the tape is ejected from the VCR.
For example, if you recorded a 30-minute program 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 FF to fast forward the tape until 0:30:00 appears
in the time counter. Press STOP.
This is the end of the program. You can begin recording
a new program.
4. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
5. Press DISPLAY to remove the time counter from the
screen. These displays time out.
The time counter is removed from the TV screen during
picture search.
