AUTO REWIND
REAL TIME TAPE COUNTER
When a tape has reached the end during recording,
playback, or fast-forward, the tape will automatically
rewind to the beginning. After rewinding finishes, the
VCR will eject the tape and turn itself to off.
• The VCR will not rewind the tape automatically during
timer recording or One Touch Recording.
• When the Counter Memory is activated, the tape will
rewind to the M0:00:00 and the VCR will go into the
Stop mode.
• This shows the elapsed recording or playback time in
hours, minutes, and seconds. (The displayed time will
not change during blank portions on the tape.)
• The indication will appear when the tape is rewound
further than “0:00:00” on the tape counter.
