4 4 This may happen, for example, when you insert an
incompletely-rewound cassette into the video
recorder and rewind it to the start of the tape.

“00:00:00” when you insert a cassette, the
actual start of the cassette for the set is less than
zero - thus in the negative range.The tape position
is displayed with a minus sign “-”.
