To set the counter to Ò0h00m00s,Ó press CANCEL on the remote control.

You cannot reset the counter if you are using the VCRÕs menus.

The counter will reset to Ò- h - - m - - sÓ when you eject a tape. When you load a tape again, the counter will display Ò0h00m00sÓ.

Searching Techniques

Your VCR lets you search through a tape in a number of ways. These include:

Quick search (CM skip) -- 30 second intervals Speed search -- visually search

Counter zero stop -- direct to start of recording Index search -- find specific index points

Search to blank -- find the beginning of the blank section

Quick search (CM skip)

Quick search lets you skip over the tape you are playing in about 30 second intervals. It is designed so that you can quickly speed through any commercials you may have recorded. To do this:

1Make sure that you have set the VCR/TV slide switch on the remote control to the VCR position.

2While playing a tape, choose the desired search time by pressing a number button.
