Searching with the Time Counter During playback (and recording), a counter keeps track of how many hours, minutes, and seconds the tape has run.

The linear time counter operates only if there is something recorded on the tape. Marking with the Time Counter If there is one part of the video that you know you are going to want to return to, you can set the time counter to memorize that spot. Press DISPLAY again and an "M" will display below the counter on the TV screen: This indicates that the counter's memory function is engaged. Now when you rewind the tape, it will automatically stop at the spot where you cleared the counter.

Press STOP, if tape is playing, and press DISPLAY, then press 8 button to bring up the Set Go-To Time screen: Select minutes by pressing buttons 0 to 9-one digit for hours, then two digits for minutes.
