Visual Search 
This function lets you search backward and forward through the videotape while 
viewing it. 
• 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. 
Searching with the Time Counter 
During playback (and recording), a counter keeps track of how many hours, 
minutes, and seconds the tape has run. 
• Press "RECALL" button, "MODE", "TIME" and "COUNTER" display appear 
on the screen. 
• Press "RECALL" button once more within 3 seconds, and only "MODE" 
display remains on the screen. 
• Press "RECALL" 3rd time, only "COUNTER" display appears on the screen. 
(See VCR status Display page) 
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. 
Marking with the Time Counter 
If there is one part of the video that you know you are going to want to return to, 
you set the time counter to memorize that spot. Begin in either STOP or PLAY 
mode. 
• Press "RECALL" button and display "COUNTER" on the screen. 
Begin recording or playing back a tape. Notice the counter remains on the screen. 
• At the point that you want to go back to, press CLEAR. This resets the counter 
to 0:00:00. 
• Press STOP when you are done recording or playing back the tape. 
• Press "RECALL" button a few times and set the "COUNTER" display as 
coming "M" display after "COUNTER" display. 
Now when you rewind the tape, it will automatically stop at the spot where you 
cleared the counter. (Notice it moves just past the marker and then back to it) 
Press PLAY to watch the tape from that preselected spot. 
Note: When the counter displays "-", Press F.FWD. 
Jump Forward or Backward with GO-TO 
Using the time counter, you can search for a spot a certain number of minutes 
before or after your current position on the tape. 
Press STOP if tape is playing, and press "GO-TO/INDEX" button, then press the 
"1" key to bring up the set GO-TO time screen. 
 
Select minutes by pressing buttons 0 to 9 - one digit for hours, then two digits for 
minutes. If you enter a wrong digit, press CLEAR and enter the correct one. Then 
press F.FWD if you want to move that many minutes ahead, or REW if you want 
to move that many minutes backward. 
For example, say you want to review a scene that began about 2 minutes earlier in 
a video, press 0, 0, and 2 to display 0:02 on the screen. Then press REW. 
The tape rewinds to the place 2 minutes back from where you began, then starts
