Clock and counter display

The counter counts in real time from when you load the cassette. This does not have to be at the beginning of the

cassette. The counter does not count unrecorded parts of the cassette.

If you rewind the cassette, the counter will count backwards, if you rewind beyond the zero position, the counter

counts in negative values for example,  – 0:01:15.

This display will only appear when there is a cassette in the video.
