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. Press STOP. Make sure
the tape is rewound.
2. Press DISPLAY three times to display only the time
counter on the TV screen.
