Counter Function

You can view the clock, linear time counter or tape remaining time in the VCR display or on the TV screen.

Each time you press REMAIN/COUNTER, the VCR display changes in sequence as follows:

→ Linear time counter → Tape remaining time (R) → Clock

The indication above will also appear on the TV screen by pressing DISPLAY. They are switchable with REMAIN/COUNTER.

To reset the linear time counter to “0:00:00”

The counter is automatically reset to “0:00:00” when a cassette is ejected. If you want to reset at another point, such as the beginning of a new recording, just press COUNT RESET.

Notes

•The linear time counter does not work on non-recorded portions on the tape.

•When the tape is ejected or the VCR is turned off, the display changes to clock.

•If the tape rewinds back over “00:00”, “–” appears in the VCR display.

•The displayed time of the linear time counter is only an approximation.
