Searching with the Time Counter
During playback (and recording), a counter keeps track of how many hours, minutes, and

When you want to check the counter during playback, there are several ways to do it. Pressing
DISPLAY on the remote control will cycle you through the three options.
• Press DISPLAY just once to see the counter, mode, time, and date on the screen for 5 seconds.
• Before the 5 seconds are up, press DISPLAY a second time to see just the counter. It will stay

• Press DISPLAY a third time to see the counter on the VCR display as well. ("M" will display

• Press DISPLAY a fourth time to end the on-screen display.
