2.Press COUNTER R/M for less than one second to turn the time counter’s memory-stop feature on or off. When memory stop is on, an M appears before the time counter.

4.Press REW . The tape rewinds to the time counter reading of

M 0:00:00.

TBC (Time Base Corrector)

During playback, TBC reduces jitter from fluctuating video signals even on old tapes. If picture appears distorted, try turning TBC off.
