Philips VR620/07 Searching for a tape position with picture scanning, Still picture / slow motion

Page 32

The counter does not move

This occurs when there are no recordings on a portion of a tape. Therefore, the video recorder cannot receive any information from the tape. This is not a fault in your machine.

The display/the screen shows '-0:01:20'

If you rewind a cassette from the tape position '0:00:00', the counter will show for instance, '-0:01:20' (the cassette will be rewound to 1 minute and 20 seconds before '0:00:00').

'-:--' is displayed in the 'REMAIN' counter

This counter will automatically recognise the length of the tape. In addition, when you put in a cassette the video recorder must first calculate the time played. Therefore, '-:--' appears first and only after the tape has been running for a few seconds will the correct playing time be shown.
