Notes on counter reading
The counter does not work on
unrecorded portions of the tape.
After a cassette is ejected, the
counter reading is retained. When
a cassette is inserted in the VCR,
the counter reading automatically
resats to "OHOOMOOS."
The linear time counter installed in
this VCR is not a clock. There is a
difference between the actual
recording and playback time, and
the counter display. This difference
may increase when switching the
tape speed from SP to LP and
vice-versa, or depending on tape
position being played back.
Auto Play
You can start playback automatically after rewinding a cassette.
This operation works only on the VCR. (You cannot use AUTO PLAY with the Remote
Commander.)
Press B> PLAY while tuming the DUAL MODE SHUTTLE ring counterclockwise fully.
Playback starts automatically after the tape is rewound to the beginning of the tape.
Indexing the Tape Contents
Before recording or playback, press COUNTER RESET to reset the counter to zero.
This counter is a "linear time counter," which shows you how much the tape has run in
terms of time. By noting the setting, you can find that point later by referring to the
counter. Use the label on a cassette to list the programmes and their counter
readings. Since the-counter is not very accurate, use it only for reference.
Locating a Particular Scene Later
lf you want to return to a particular scene later, press COUNTER RESET on
the VCR at the desired scene so that the linear time counter resets to
"OHOOMOOS."
To return to the desired scene
Press TAPE RETURN on the Remote Commander while the VCR is in stop
mode. The tape rewinds to the position where the counter reads "OHOOMO0S,"
and stops.
To start playback of the scene
Press B® PLAY.
Listening More Easily to Conversation
Recorded with a Camcorder
When you press VB (VOICE BOOST) while playing back a tape recorded with a
camcorder, the human voice portion of the sound is enhanced sc that it is easier to
hear conversation. This reduces the sound of wind and other "unwanted" background
noise.
Note on VOICE BOOST :
When you use VOICE BOOST while playing back a tape recorded by
video equipment other than a camcorder, the sound may not-be
heard easily.
VOICE BOOST may not be effective while playing back a tape
recorded in monaural or bilingual programmes.
