The counter display is reset to 00:00:00:00 when the

Notes:
• The picture quality deteriorates when repeat playback is
initiated for the same tape over and over again. As a
general rule of thumb, replace the tape with a new one
after playing back the tape for about 100 times.
• The output images to be displayed while the tape is
being rewound to the BEGIN point in the repeat
playback mode can be set using menu item No.163
(REPT MODE).
If FREEZE is selected as the REPT MODE setting and
the tape end has been set as the END point, the
playback image will not be frozen properly. Set the END
point at a place on the tape where images have been
recorded.
• If the counter display mode (TC or CTL), which was
established when menu item No.161 (CTL(TC)BGN) and
No.162 (END) were set, is different from the counter
display mode (TC or CTL) in which repeat playback is to
be initiated, the repeat lamp flashes, and the repeat
playback operation cannot be performed.
