ADVANCED OPERATION
PLAYBACK OF A VIDEO TAPE
CHECKING THE AMOUNT OF TAPE REMAINING
When you load a video tape into the VCR it can calculate approximately the amount of 
video tape remaining in hours and minutes. This is useful in determining whether or not there is 
sufficient tape left to make a recording. 
When a video tape is playing, the amount of tape remaining is calculated for you 
automatically.
To display the amount of video tape remaining:
1.
Load the video tape into the VCR
2.
Press
 DISPLAY
 on the remote control as many times as necessary until “R” appears on 
the VCR display.  The tape will wind forward and then return to its original position. The 
tape remaining will be shown on the VCR display in hours and minutes.
By pressing the 
TAPE SPEED
 button on the remote control the remaining time will 
change between long play and standard play.
For example, 
in standard play 1 hour 23 minutes is left on the tape:
in long play 2 hours 46 minutes is left on the tape:
in extended play 4 hours 9 minutes is left on the tape:
