CHECKING THE AMOUNT OF TAPE REMAINING
When you load a video tape into the VCR it can calculate approximately the amount of video tape remaining in hours and minutes. This is useful in determining whether or not there is sufficient tape left to make a recording.
When a video tape is playing, the amount of tape remaining is calculated for you automatically.
To display the amount of video tape remaining:
1.Load the video tape into the VCR
2.Press DISPLAY on the remote control as many times as necessary until “R” appears on the VCR display. The tape will wind forward for a few seconds and then return to its original position. The tape remaining will be shown on the VCR display in hours and minutes.
By pressing the TAPE SPEED button on the remote control the remaining time will change between standard play, long play and extended play.
For example,
in standard play 1 hour 23 minutes is left on the tape:
in long play 2 hours 46 minutes is left on the tape:
in extended play 4 hours 9 minutes is left on the tape:
NOTES:
•If tape remaining function is interrupted, the remaining time will not be displayed.
•If less than 5 minutes of tape remains the display will flash.
