and playback, using seven dashes. This feature is handy when recording since it lets
you know how long you can record on the loaded tape.

Insert a cassette into the camera/recorder and start recording or playback; 10 seconds
later, the remaining tape will be displayed. When the cassette is ejected, the display will
disappear. "
