To use the time counter
At the point on the tape that you want to find later, press CLEAR. The
counter in the display window resets to “0:00:00.” Search for the point
afterwards by referring to the counter.
To display the counter on the TV screen, press DISPLAY. Press DISPLAY
again and the counter will disappear from the TV screen.
Notes
• The counter resets to “0:00:00” whenever a tape is reinserted.
• The counter stops counting when it comes to a portion with no recording.
• While setting the menu on the TV screen, you cannot use the
H
PLAY,
X
PAUSE,
M
FF,
m
REW or
x
STOP buttons. These buttons are used for menu operations.
• If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This is due to the difference between the counting cycles
of the two colour systems.
• Depending on your TV, the following may occur while playing an NTSC-recorded
tape:
– the picture is black and white
– the picture shakes
– no picture appears on the TV screen
– black streaks appear horizontally on the TV screen
– the colour density increases or decreases.
• Tapes recorded in the LP mode of other NTSC system VCRs can be played back on
this VCR, but the picture quality cannot be guaranteed.
