Time Counter

The time counter display shows the actual time elapsed when recording a program or playing back a segment of a pre-recorded tape.

The time counter also helps you quickly locate the end of recorded segments. Note the time counter reading when you are finished recording or playing back a tape. For example, you recorded a 10-minute segment. Later, if you want to locate the end of your recording, you can insert the cassette and fast- forward the tape until the time counter reads “0:10:00”.

Before you start to record or playback a tape, press the COUNTER RES. (reset) button to set the counter to “0:00:00”.

3.Continue to record or play the tape. When you want to return to the place you marked, press the thumb trigger to stop recording or the STOP button to stop playing back the tape.

4.Make sure the CAM/OFF/PLAY switch is in the PLAY position, and then press the REW (rewind) button. The tape will rewind to the time counter reading of “M 0:00:00”.

Notes for Memory Stop: The corresponding buttons on the remote control can be used to operate the camcorder.

The memory-stop feature helps you locate a certain point on the tape. This is useful if you want to review a section immediately after recording or return to the same place on the tape several times during playback. When memory stop is turned on, the tape will stop automatically during rewind or fast forward when the time counter reaches “M 0:00:00”.

1.Press the COUNTER MEM (memory) button to turn on the memory stop feature. An “M” appears in front of the time counter in the viewfinder.

Whenever the time counter is displayed, you can reset it to 0:00:00 by pressing the COUNTER RES. button.

If you rewind the tape farther back than a counter reading of “0:00:00”, a minus will appear in front of the time counter display.

Whenever memory stop is turned on, the camcorder will stop rewinding or fast forwarding when the counter reaches “M 0:00:00”. To continue rewinding or fast forwarding, press REW or F.FWD. again.

There may be a small difference between the actual length of the tape and the counter reading.

The memory stop feature can be turned on at any time by pressing the COUNTER MEM. button. Press the COUNTER MEM. button again to turn memory stop off and remove the M in front of the time counter.

If the tape does not stop at the exact memory location, use the REW and F.FWD buttons.
