VCR Features
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time used when recording or playing a tape. The time counter helps
locate the beginning or end of recorded events. It resets to 0:00:00 whenever a tape is ejected from
the DVD/VCR.
For example, if you record a 30–minute program at the beginning of a tape, rewind it, and then want
to go to the end of the first program to start another recording:
1. Press the INFO button twice to display only the time
counter.
2. Press the CLEAR button to reset the time counter to
0:00:00.
3. Press the remote control’s FORWARD button to advance
a tape until the time counter reads 0:30:00.
4. Press the STOP button. This is the approximate end of a
30-minute program (you may want to press the PLAY
button to verify). When the tape is cued correctly, you
can begin recording.
5. Press the INFO button to remove the time counter from
the screen and return to the normal display mode.
