Time Counter; On-Screen Displays - RCA VR654HF User Manual

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 FWD to forward the tape until the time counter reads
0:30:00.
4. Press STOR 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.
ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS
