If a timer recording is programmed, make sure your VCR is turned off. Locking your VCR prevents the VCR from being accidentally turned on.

TIME COUNTER

The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program or play back a segment of a recorded tape. It helps locate the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is ejected from the VCR.

For example, if you record a 30-minute program at the beginning of the tape and you want to go to the end of that program to begin another recording, you would:

1.Press INFO twice to display the time counter.

2.Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.

3.Press FWD to forward the tape until the time counter reads 0:30:00.

4.Press STOP. This is the approximate end of the program. (You may want to press PLAY to verify.) Now, you can begin recording at this spot.

5.Press INFO to remove the time counter from the screen and return to the normal display mode.
