Sony CCD-F33 - Manual (Page 40)

Using the Tape Counter
During recording or playback, the digits on the
counter indicate the actual recording or playback
time.
To Index the Whole Tape
Press the COUNTER RESET button at the
beginning of the tape so that the counter shows
"0:00:00”. By noting the counter reading at a
particular point, you can easily find that point later
by referring to the tape counter.
Notes
• The counter reading and the point of the tape may
not correspond exactly. Use the counter as a
guide. There will be a time lag of several seconds
especially when you repeat fast-forward running/
rewinding and play back the tape recorded in LP
and SP modes mixed.
• The counter does not operate for a blank,
unrecorded portion of a tape.
