3.Press DISPLAY again to return to the normal status displays. The clock appears in VCR's display panel.

Turning off the VCR automatically returns the displays to normal.

Time Counter

The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program or

play back a segment of a prerecorded 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 a 30-minute program was recorded at the beginning of the tape, you would:

1.Insert the prerecorded tape.

2.Press DISPLAY twice to display only the time counter on the TV screen.

3.Use SHUTTLE Ring on the VCR or FF on the remote to fast forward the tape until 0:30:00 appears in the time counter.

4.Press STOP.

This is the approximate end of the program. You can begin recording a new program.

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

6.Press DISPLAY twice to remove the time counter from the screen and return to the normal display mode. These displays time out.
