Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program or
play back a segment of a recorded 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 you record a 30–minute program at the beginning of
the tape and you want to go to the end of that program to begin
another recording, you would:
1. Press INFO twice to display only the time counter.
2. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
3. Press FORWARD (FWD) to forward the tape until the time counter
reads 0:30:00.
4. Press STOP. This is the approximate end of the program. (You may
want to press PLAY to verify.) Now, you can begin recording at this
spot.
5. Press INFO twice to remove the time counter from the screen and
return to the normal display mode.
On-Screen Displays
The INFO button shows the status of the VCR (Stop, Play Record, etc.),
channel number, time counter, date, time, and tape speed on the TV
screen. The date and time must be set before they can be displayed.
1. Press INFO to see the on-screen displays. The current time is
displayed in the VCR’s display panel.
2. Press INFO again to have only the time counter remain on
the screen. The time counter is displayed in the VCR’s display
panel.
3. Press INFO again to have no displays appear on the TV screen. The
time counter remains in the VCR’s display panel. This is useful for
dubbing tapes.
4. Press INFO again to return to the normal display. The current time
is displayed in the VCR’s display panel.
Turning off the VCR also resets the displays.
