programs you taped. The time counter resets to 0:00:00whenever the tape is

tape, you would:

Make sure the tape is rewound.
2. Press DISPLAYon the remote twice to display
only the time counter on the TV screen.
3. Press CLEARon the remote to reset the time
counter to 0:00:00.

reads 0:30:00. Press STOP.
This is the approximate end of the program
and you can begin recording at this spot.
