A Changing display information

Press DISPLAY during recording or recording pause. Each time you press the button, the front display panel shows the time counter, tape remaining time, channel number, and the clock time in sequence.

Time Counter	Tape Remaining Time
Clock Time		Channel No.

To display the VCR status including the time counter and the clock time on the TV screen, see “Showing on- screen display” ( pg. 27).

“COUNT” appears on the screen when the time counter is shown. “REMAIN” appears on the screen when the tape remaining time is shown.

The approximate tape remaining time appears and the “” indicator lights on the front display panel.

The tape remaining time is calculated based on the tape speed (SP or EP) being used. The indicated remaining time is only an estimate.

To reset the time counter, press C. RESET on the Remote. The counter reading becomes “0:00:00”. It is also reset when a tape is inserted.
