a The counter does not move
b This occurs when there are no recordings on a portion of a tape.
Therefore, the video recorder cannot receive any information from the
tape. This is not a fault in your machine.
a The display/the screen shows '-0:01:20'
b If you rewind a cassette from the tape position '0:00:00', the counter will
show for instance, '-0:01:20' (the cassette will be rewound to 1 minute
and 20 seconds before '0:00:00').
a ' : ' is displayed in the 'REMAIN' counter
b This counter will automatically recognise the length of the tape. In addition,
when you put in a cassette the video recorder must first calculate the time
played. Therefore, '-:--' appears first and only after the tape has been
running for a few seconds will the correct playing time be shown.
