Displaying tape position

If the COUNTER button is pressed during playback and recording the current tape position will be briefly displayed on the screen. There are three different types of display available.

1Start playback (Play button G) or recording (Record button n)

2By pressing the button COUNTER the current tape position will be displayed on the screen. Each further press of the button COUNTER activates the next type of display

What types of display are available to me?

“COUNTER” :	The display shows the number of
	minutes of tape already played after
	minutes of tape already played after
	insertion	of	the	cassette
	(hours/minutes/seconds)
“TIME LEFT” : The display		shows	the remaining
	playing time to the end of the
	cassette (hours/minutes/seconds)
“TIME USED” :	The actual tape position (from the
	start of the tape to the present tape
	start of the tape to the present tape				PARDON?
	position) will be displayed.				PARDON?

3As soon as the button COUNTER has not been pressed for a few seconds, the display of the tape position disappears again.

8The counter stops running when unrecorded places are found (“Linear” display type)

4 This is normal, and is necessary for technical reasons.

8The display shows a negative playing time

4This may happen, for example, when you insert an incompletely-rewound cassette into the video recorder and rewind it to the start of the tape. Since the display is automatically reset to “00:00:00” when you insert a cassette, the actual start of the cassette for the set is less than zero - thus in the negative range.The tape position is displayed with a minus sign “-”.

8After inserting a cassette the video recorder shows no remaining playing time

4The set needs a little time to calculate the remaining playing time. After a few seconds, the display should

change from --:--:-- to the corresponding value PROBLEM
