Philips VR727 - Manual (Page 18)

It is handy to know for how long a cassette has already
been playing or how long is still left.
To indicate this, your video recorder offers you three dif­
ferent display possibilities (in step
O )•
First, you must enter the tape length of the loaded cassette.
This is necessary if the correct playing time is to be in­
dicated. The tape length is given on the cassette in min­
utes, e.g. 'El80' corresponds to 180 minutes of playing
time. You will find the length printed on the left of the front
narrow edge. The actual length, however, may be a little
longer than indicated.
O
Press button „CASSETTE..;..: on the remote control. A
cassette length will appear in the display of the remote
control, e.g.:
w\ I ///
CASSETTE
c / on
L / UU
VCR I O)))
O
Now press button L + i i o r i n order to select the right
cassette length. The possibilities available appear in
this order: E30, E60, E90, E105, E120, E150, E180, E195,
E200, E210, E240, E260, E300, EC30, EC45, E30, etc.
O Point the rernpte control at the video recorder. Press
button i.„.CASSET.TE..;.: on the remote control.
In this way, you transmit the data to the video recorder.
When it has received the data, the display will show,
e.g.:
r O i r i ~ l ~ T T C
I - I I — I — I L . I I L
C I o n
L . I U U
O
Now you can use button :;::!..SELEC,t..l::i on the remote
control to select from the following three display pos­
sibilities:
elapsed playing time
remaining playing time
counter
Display iMi (= time
used)
Display SA.ii (= time
left)
Indication of tape posi­
tion
You can read this display during winding and rewinding,
during recording, playback and stop.
If you want to reset the counter indication of the tape posi­
tion to 'O', press button il^EAlJi.
Please also note: * With newly loaded cassettes, the video
recorder must first calculate the playing time. The video
recorder first shows, e . g . a n d waits a few seconds be­
fore displaying the correct playing time.
* The time display works accurately only with
PAUSECAM-VHS cassettes.
Cassettes made for NTSC-VHS equipment can show only
the tape position and not an e,xact time.
