pressed, the time display will switch through several modes on
the display.
o Elapsed track time (no display light indication)
o Remaining track time ("REMAIN" is lit in the display)
o Elapsed disc time ("TOTAL" is lit in the display)
o Remaining disc time ("TOTAL" and "REMAIN" are lit in the
display)
When stopped, the total recording time is shown, regardless of
the status of the TOTAL and REMAIN indicators.
