Tape Counter & Memory Stop

Note:

Pressing RESET while in the On Screen Menu System will not reset the Tape Counter. While in the SET CLOCK MENU, the TIMER RECORD screen, the TIMER RECORD SUMMARY, the TITLER SET UP screen, or the Automatic Edit Scene List, the Reset key will reset items in these menus. See the appropriate sections in this Guide for details.

Your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR Tape Counter allows you to note the location of specific sections of your tapes and find them quickly later. This Tape Counter counts in real time— hours, minutes, and seconds.

You can see the Tape Counter for both decks on the On Screen Display. You can see the Tape Counter for the active deck on the Front Panel Display by pressing the CLK/CTR key on the remote control. (Pressing repeatedly switches the display between the clock, the counter and the time remaining.)

You can reset the Tape Counter to 00:00:00 (the zero point) by pressing the RESET key on the remote control. You can reset the zero point anywhere on the tape. For example, a T-120 tape in SP mode lasts two hours. If you reset the Tape Counter to the zero point at the beginning of the tape, the Counter will run from 00:00:00 to 2:00:00. If you were to reset the Tape Counter to the zero point in the exact middle of the tape, the Counter would run from -1:00:00 to 1:00:00.

Any time you insert a tape into your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR, the Tape Counter will automatically reset to 00:00:00. If you insert a tape that is partially rewound, the zero point will be set at that point in the middle of the tape. We recom- mend that you rewind each tape to the beginning, and press RESET so that the zero point is at the beginning of the tape.

Memory Stop

If you wish, you can set the active deck of your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR so that the tape will stop at the zero point when rewinding or fast-forwarding. To do this, press the MEMORY key on your remote control. You will see an M below the Tape Counter setting on the On Screen Display.
