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. Press the DISPLAY button on the remote control so the linear time counter with memory is displayed as shown in the figure. Press the COUNTER RESET button on the remote control at the point to which you wish to return. Press the REW/REVIEW button and the tape stops at approximately where you reset the linear time counter. This feature works in F. FWD as well. Setting the Date and Time Take the time to set the date and time now: The time backup battery is rechargeable. Set the CAMERA/OFF/VIDEO switch to OFF and connect a charged battery or the AC adapter/charger to the camera/recorder for 24 hours. If you record the date and time at the beginning of each recording session they will serve as a handy reminder when viewing tapes at a later date. Make sure that the current time is displayed correctly before you start filming. Note: The backup battery should be charged every two months. If it is not charged periodically, it will be over-discharged and its life will be shortened. 26 Getting Started 1.
