Time Counter with Memory Stop
Time Counter
The time counter display shows the actual time elapsed when recording or playing back a tape. The time
counter quickly locates the end of recorded segments. Note the reading when you are finished recording or
playing back a tape. Before you start to record or playback a tape, press the COUNTER RESET button to set
the counter to “0:00:00”.
For example, you recorded a 10-minute segment. Later, you want to locate the end of your recording. Insert
the cassette and fast-forward the tape until the time counter reads “0:10:00”.
