Time Counter

The time-counter display shows the actual time elapsed when recording or playing
back a segment of tape. During playback, the memory-stop feature helps locate a
certain point on the tape. When memory stop is on, the tape will stop automatically
during rewind or fast forward when the time counter reaches M 0:00:00.
