SETTING THE REMAINING TIME 

46 

 

 

 In the Remain Time Mode calculating will start when the cassette tape is inserted and 

PLAY button is pressed. 
While calculating, the TV screen shows as illustrated. 

 A video cassette must be inserted in the VCR for this function to work. 

 Since the reel diameter and tape thickness are not common to all cassettes, the time 

count differs from cassette to cassette. Use the time display as an informative number 
only. 

 During recording, the remaining tape running time is estimated based on the current 

recording mode (SP, LP, SLP). 

 During playback the remaining tape running time is calculated based on the current 

playback mode. 

 Remain time will not appear on TV screen while in the Fast forward or Rewind Mode. 
 There will be a delay of up to 1 minute before the remain time appears on the TV 

display. 

Note: 
The use of the following tapes will result in difference between the displayed remaining time 
and actual time to the end of the tape: 

 Tape housed in a VHS-C cassette adapter. 
 Shorter tape length such as a 10-minute cassette. 
 T-180 cassette. In this case the display may read 2 Hours, 40 Minutes at the start point 

of the tape in SP mode.
