Displaying theTime Gauge and the RemainingTime

The time gauge is a graphic representation of your position on a video tape. The left side of the gauge is the tape start (S), and the right side is the tape end (E). For a T-120 length tape played at standard (SP) speed, each mark on the gauge represents about 15 minutes. The remaining time display shows the time, in hours and minutes, left until the end of a tape.

the time gauge and the remaining time automatically appear during:

fast forward and rewind (from a stopped tape) counter zero stop

index searches

rewinding for repeat playback search to blank

Turn off the time gauge and the remaining time by pressing DISPLAY twice.

to make the time gauge and the remaining time appear:

Press DISPLAY once. The time gauge and remaining time appear on the TV screen, and the remaining time appears on the front panel display. They disappear after 4 seconds when playing a tape.

To turn off the display, press DISPLAY twice.

IMPORTANT

The time gauge and remaining time work by detecting control signals on recorded tapes. Therefore they do not function while playing blank tapes.

The remaining time display may not show the correct remaining time if the Tape function is incorrectly set, if you are using speed search, if you are using a special length cassette (such as T-10 length), or if you are using an S-VHS-C or a VHS-C tape with an adapter.

The remaining time display may not work correctly depending on your tape.
