Tape position/Index search

Tape position: The elapsed playback time, given to the hour
and minute, appears in the display.
When you load a cassette, the video recorder must first
calculate the playing time. Therefore, '-:--' appears first and
only after the tape has been running for a few seconds the
playing time will be shown.
The playback time displayed can be incorrect when using
camcorder cassettes or with cassettes made for NTSC-VHS
equipment.
Index search: At the beginning of each recording, the video
recorder marks the tape with a code mark. You can search
for these code marks on the tape. Once the video recorder
finds the code mark or a blank space it will automatically
switch to playback.
