display. The remaining time is the approximately estimated time in the A3-hour mode to tape end.
• The remaining time is the approximate remaining time.
• Displays the remaining tape time estimated in the A3-hour mode.
During computation of the remaining time, the following display appears.
• When the VTR has been used in the recording mode over a long period, it may take considerable time for computation. When
operating at fast speed in the A3-hour mode, the computation is faster.
Note:
It is possible to compute the remaining time for E-180 tape. The display will not be correct for other kinds of tape.

When recording in time mode 120 ~ 960 hours or in the One-shot mode, video head clog detection is automatically carried out
once for every two hours. When the video head clog is found, head cleaning is carried out for approximately 10 times. When
cleaning is still not possible, "E-6" is displayed and the HED display blinks on the monitor although recording continues. In
such a case, cleaning of the video heads is required.
