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 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.
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 can set the time
counter to memorize that spot. Begin in either STOP or PLAY mode.
Press DISPLAY twice to show the counter on the TV 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.
