To use the time counter

Press CLEAR at the point on the tape that you want to find later. The counter in the display window resets to “0:00:00.” To search for the counter “0:00:00” point automatically, see “To search for the counter 0:00:00 point” on page 67.

To display the counter on the TV screen, press DISPLAY.

Notes

Tapes recorded in the LP mode on other VCRs can be played back on this VCR but the picture quality cannot be guaranteed.

While displaying a menu on the TV screen, you cannot use H PLAY, X PAUSE, M FF, m REW, or x STOP buttons.

The counter resets to “0:00:00” in the display window and on the TV screen whenever a tape is reinserted.

The counter stops counting when it comes to a portion with no recording.

When 10 hours have passed, the counter in the display window returns to “0:00:00” and the count starts over again.

When playback does not start even if you insert a tape with its safety tab removed, set “Auto play” in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu correctly (page 69).

The SLV-N900 can also play S-VHS tapes. The SLV-N900 will automatically identify the type of tape inserted in the VCR (either VHS or S-VHS). When S-VHS tapes are played in the SLV-N900, the enhanced resolution will not be visible on screen; there may also be picture distortion while playing the S-VHS tape in slow motion or while utilizing other special playback modes. The SLV-N900 will not record in S-VHS mode on an S-VHS tape.
