Using the Time Counter
The time counter allows you to keep track of how much time (in hours, minutes, and
seconds) has elapsed on the video tape you’re watching. The counter can also be
useful if you want to find a specific point on a pre-recorded tape.
1
While a tape is playing,
press the DISPLAY button
twice.
▼
The counter displays time only for
recorded sections of tape. Blank tapes
or blank sections of tapes do not affect
the counter display.
2
The time counter appears
in the upper left corner of
the screen.
▼
3
Press the CLEAR button to
set the counter to “00:00:00.”
4
Press the DISPLAY button
twice again to remove the
time counter from the
screen.
The VCR automatically resets the
counter to “00:00:00” when you eject
a tape.

Using Picture Search
Picture search lets you quickly search a pre-recorded video tape for a particular scene.

There’s no sound while you search
for a picture at high speeds.
There may be some horizontal streaks
on the screen while you search.
This technique is good if you’re
searching through only a small amount
of tape. If you want to search through a
large amount of tape, stop the tape
before pressing FWD or REW.

When you find the scene
you want, press and
release the FWD(
) or
REW( ) button again
to resume playing the tape
at regular speed.

While playing a tape,
press and release the
FWD(

button.
