Using Memory

The linear time counter memory stops a rewinding tape at approximately 0:00:00M. This feature helps in locating a specific point in the tape to which you wish to return. An example might be that you have recorded some tape that you have already watched, you continue recording but do not care to watch the tape you recorded earlier. The memory feature returns you to the beginning of the most recent recording.

1.Press the DISPLAY button on the remote control so the linear time counter with memory is displayed as shown in the figure.

2.Start recording or playback of a cassette. Press the COUNTER RESET button on the remote control at the point to which you wish to return. The linear time counter clears to 0:00:00M.

3.Press the STOP button to stop playback, or press the start/stop recording and set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch to VIDEO.

4.Press the REW button and the tape stops at approximately where you reset the linear time counter. This feature works in F.F as well.
