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 and date must be set before they can be displayed. If
you do not press DISPLAY again, this display times out.
2. Press DISPLAY again to continually display the time counter
on the TV screen. The time counter appears instead of the
time in the VCR's display panel.
3. Press DISPLAY again to remove the time counter from the
screen. No displays appear on the TV screen and the time
counter remains in the VCR's display panel. This is
convenient for editing tapes.
3. Press DISPLAY again to return to the normal status displays.
The clock appears in VCR's display panel.
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 0:00:00
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.
2. Press DISPLAY twice to display only the time counter on the
TV screen.
3. Use SHUTTLE Ring on the VCR or FF on the remote to fast
forward the tape until 0:30:00 appears in the time counter.
4. Press STOP.
This is the approximate end of the program. You can begin
recording a new program.
5. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
6. Press DISPLAY twice to remove the time counter from the
screen and return to the normal display mode. These displays
time out.
