Time Counter

The time counter shows the elapsed 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. Make sure the tape is rewound. Press STOP on the remote or

STOP•EJECT on the VCR.

2.Press DISPLAY twice to display only the time counter on the TV screen.

3.Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to

0:00:00.

4.Press FF on remote or FWD on the VCR to fast forward the tape until the time counter reads 0:30:00. Press STOP on the remote or

STOP•EJECT on the VCR.

This is the approximate end of the program and you can begin recording at this spot.

5.Press DISPLAY to remove the time counter from the screen and return to the normal displays.
