Using Memory
The linear time counter memory stops a rewinding tape at approximately 0;00;00M. This feature
helps in locating a specific point in the tape to which you wish to return. An example might be that
you have recorded some tape that you have already watched, you continue recording but do not
care to watch the tape you recorded earlier. The memory feature returns you to the beginning of
the most recent recording.
1. Press the DISPLAY button on the remote control so the linear time counter with memory is
displayed as shown in the figure.
2. Start recording or playback of a cassette. Press the COUNTER RESET button on the remote
control at the point to which you wish to return. The linear time counter clears to 0:00:00M.
3. Press the STOP button to stop playback, or press the start/stop recording and set the
CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch to VIDEO.
4. Press the REW button and the tape stops at approximately where you reset the linear time
counter. This feature works in F.F as well.
Using the Display Button
Pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control allows you to switch the displays in the
viewfinder. When the camcorder is turned on, the linear time counter appears.
• Pressing the DISPLAY button once displays the linear time counter with the memory feature.
• When a recorded tape is in the camcorder during the VIDEO mode, "SEARCH" appears in the
viewfinder. (Refer to "Date Search" on page 40).
• Pressing the DISPLAY button a second time returns to the linear time counter.
