To display the remaining time correctly, you may have to select the TAPE LENGTH in the SET UP MENU according to the type of the tape that you are using. For details, see page 48.

In step 2, the VCR automatically rewinds and fast-forwards the tape only if you press the SEARCH MODE button right after you insert a tape. This is so that the VCR can measure the current position on the tape.
