Using the Playback Features
DISPLAY Button
1. Press DISPLAY to display the status of the VCR,
channel number, time counter, date, time, and tape
speed on the TV screen. The time will appear in the
display panel.
The time and date must be set before they are
displayed. If you do not press DISPLAY again, these
displays will time out.
2. Press DISPLAY again to have only the time counter
remain on the TV screen. The time counter will
appear instead of the time in the VCR's display
panel.
3. Press DISPLAY again to remove the time counter
from the TV screen.
The time counter will remain in the VCR's display
panel and no status displays will appear on the TV
screen. This is convenient for editing tapes.
4. Press DISPLAY again to return to the normal status
displays.
Turning off the VCR automatically returns the
displays to normal.
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a
program or play back a segment of a prerecorded tape. It helps
locate the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time
counter resets to 0:OO:OO whenever the tape is ejected from the
VCR.
For example, if a 30-minute program was recorded at the
beginning of the tape, you would:
1. Insert the prerecorded tape. Press STOP.
2. Press DISPLAY twice to display only the time
counter on the TV screen.
3. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:OO:OO.
4. Press FF on remote or turn the shuttle on the VCR
clockwise to fast forward the tape until the time
counter reads 0:30:00.
This is the approximate end of the program and you
can begin recording at this spot.
5. Press DISPLAY twice to remove the time counter
from the screen and return to the normal display.
