Time Counter with Memory Stop

Time Counter

The time counter display shows the actual time elapsed when recording or playing back a tape. The time counter quickly locates the end of recorded segments. Note the reading when you are finished recording or playing back a tape. Before you start to record or playback a tape, press the COUNTER RESET button to set the counter to “0:00:00”.

For example, you recorded a 10-minute segment. Later, you want to locate the end of your recording. Insert the cassette and fast-forward the tape until the time counter reads “0:10:00”.
