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 record a 30-minute program at the beginning of the tape and you want to go to the end of that program to begin another recording,

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 and press STOP. The time counter is removed from the TV screen during fast forward.

The time counter does not advance when it detects no signal (blank tape).

4.Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.

5.Press DISPLAY to remove the time counter from the screen.
