OTHER FEATURES
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a
program or play back a segment of a recorded tape. It helps
locate the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time
counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is ejected from
the VCR.
For example, if you record a 30-minute program at the
beginning of the tape and you want to go to the end of
that program to begin another recording, you would:
1. Press INFO twice to display the time counter.
2. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
3. Press FORWARD to forward the tape until the time counter
reads 0:30:00.
4. Press STOP. This is the approximate end of the program.
(You may want to press PLAY to verify.) Now, you can
begin recording at this spot.
5. Press INFO to remove the time counter from the
screen and return to the normal display mode.
