Time Counter
Your VCR has a time counter that shows the amount of time the
tape has run in hours, minutes, and seconds. This counter is
useful when you want to find specific points on a tape. The
counter will not work when playing blank tapes or on blank sections
of tape, or when the VCR’s power is off.
to make the time counter appear:
Press DISPLAY. The time counter will appear on the TV screen. It
will disappear after 4 seconds when playing a tape. To turn off the
display, press DISPLAY twice.
setting the counter
To set the counter to “0h00m00s,” press CANCEL on the remote
control.
You cannot reset the counter if you are using the VCR’s menus.
The counter will reset to “- h - - m - - s” when you eject a tape.
When you load a tape again, the counter will display “0h00m00s.”
Searching Techniques
Your VCR lets you search through a tape in a number of ways.
These include:
Quick search (CM skip) -- 30 second intervals
Speed search -- visually search
Counter zero stop -- direct to start of recording
Index search -- find specific index points
Search to blank -- find the beginning of the blank section
Quick search (CM skip)
Quick search lets you skip over the tape you are playing in about
30 second intervals. It is designed so that you can quickly speed
through any commercials you may have recorded. To do this:
1 Make sure that you have set the VCR/TV slide switch on the
remote control to the VCR position.
2 While playing a tape, choose the desired search time by
pressing a number button.
The VCR will speed through the selected length of tape, then
resume playback. This screen will show the search time and the
gauge. Each mark on the gauge represents 15 seconds. The
marks will disappear, one by one, every 15 seconds of the search
time. You can select a search time up to 3 minutes.
