number, time counter, date, time, and tape speed on the

You must set the time and date before they can be

counter on the TV screen. The time counter appears

time counter remains in the VCR’s display panel. This is
convenient for editing tapes.
4. Press DISP again to return to the normal status

Turning off the VCR automatically returns the displays

Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program
or play back a segment of a prerecorded tape. This helps you locate
the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time counter
resets to
0:00:00 when the tape is ejected from the VCR.
For example, if you recorded a 30-minute program at the beginning
of the tape, you would:
1. Insert the prerecorded tape.
2. Press DISP twice to display only the time counter on
the TV screen.
3. Press FF to fast forward the tape until 0:30:00 appears
in the time counter.
4 . Press STOP .
This is the approximate end of the program. You can
begin recording a new program.
5. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
6. Press DISP to remove the time counter from the screen.
These displays time out.
The time counter is removed from the TV screen during
picture search.
