If noise bars appear on the TV screen during SLOW/STILL mode, first set the VCR to 
SLOW mode and then press the TRACKING control buttons (

 or 

) on the remote 

control to minimize the noise bars. The noise bars are then eliminated automatically in 
the STILL mode. 

Visual Search 
This function lets you search backward and forward through the videotape while viewing 
it. 
Using the buttons on the VCR: 

 Press PLAY and then REW to search in reverse. 
 Press PLAY and then F.FWD to search ahead. 
 Press PLAY again to return to normal playback. 

Using the SHUTTLE dial on the remote control: 

 Press PLAY and turn the dial to the far right or left to search forward and backward. 

Searching with the Time Counter 
During playback (and recording), a counter keeps track of how many hours,  minutes, 
and seconds the tape has run. When you first start playback, the counter shows briefly 
in the TV screen's upper right corner. 

 

When you want to check the counter during playback, there are several ways to do it. 
Pressing DISPLAY will cycle you through the three options. 

 Press DISPLAY just once to see the counter, mode, time, and date on the screen for 

5 seconds. 

 Before the 5 seconds is up, press DISPLAY a second time to see just the counter. It 

will stay on the screen. 

 Press DISPLAY a third time to to see the counter on the VCR display as well. 
 Press DISPLAY a fourth time to end the on-screen display. 

The linear time counter operates only if there is something recorded on the tape. 
The counter changes to 0:00:00 when the tape is ejected.
