On-Screen Status Displays 25

An on-screen status display will appear when you press the OK/STATUS button or certain function buttons. The contents of the status display will vary; the status display describes the current operations of the VCR.

ON SCREEN MODE ON:

Whenever you press the PLAY o button or the STOP p but- ton, some of the contents of the status display will appear for five seconds.

ON SCREEN MODE COUNTER:

The real-time counter will appear on the screen during normal tape playback and when playback is stopped. Whenever you press the PLAY o button or the STOP p button, some of the contents of the status display will appear for five seconds. After five seconds, only the counter will remain on the screen.

ON SCREEN MODE OFF:

No status display will appear when you press function buttons or the OK/STATUS button.

To select a status display mode, follow these steps.

Helpful Hints

If ON SCREEN MODE is set to ON or COUNTER:

You may bring up the status display at any time by pressing the OK/STATUS button. (The exception is during Slow, Search, or Still mode.) The display will appear for about five seconds.

Channel numbers (if memorized by the VCR) will appear for a few sec- onds.

When tape playback is stopped, press the OK/STATUS button repeatedly to see the current time, real-time counter, remaining tape time or cur- rent TV channel number on the dis- play panel. During tape playback, press the OK/STATUS button repeat- edly to see the current time, real-time counter or remaining tape time on the display panel. The current TV channel will not appear.

Depending on the type of tape used, the remaining tape time may not appear right away, or may not be cor- rect. Also, “– – :–” may appear, or the display may flash if the VCR is still calculating the remaining tape time.
