counter, date, time and tape speed on the TV screen. The time and date must

The time counter appears instead of the time in
the VCR display panel.
3. Press DISPLAY again to remove the time
counter from the TV screen.
No displays appear on the TV screen. This is
convenient for copying tapes. The time counter
remains in the VCR’s display panel.

Turning off the VCR automatically returns the
displays to normal.
Time Counter
The time counter shows the elapsed time it takes to record a program or play
back a segment of a prerecorded tape. It helps locate the beginning or end of
programs you taped. The time counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is
ejected from the VCR.
For example, if a 30-minute program was recorded at the beginning of the tape,
you would:
1. Insert the prerecorded tape, and make sure it is
rewound to the beginning. Press STOP.
2. Press DISPLAY twice to display only the time
counter on the TV screen.
3. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to
0:00:00.
4. Press F.FWD to fast forward the tape until the
time counter reads 0:30:00.
5 . Press STOP. This is the approximate end of the
program and you can begin recording at this
spot.
6. Press DISPLAY twice to remove the time
counter from the screen and return to the
normal displays.
