Tips
•
•
•
You can select a video source from the LINE-1 (TV) connector also using the INPUT
SELECT button.
The display appears on the TV screen indicating information about the tape, but the
information won’t be recorded on the tape.
If you don’t want to watch TV while recording, you can turn off the TV.
Notes
•
•
•
The display does not appear during still (pause) mode or slow-motion playback.
The display will not appear while playing an NTSC-recorded tape.
If a tape has portions recorded in both PAL and NTSC systems, the time counter
reading will not be correct. This discrepancy is due to the difference between the
counting cycles of the two video systems.
•
When you insert a non-standard commercially available tape, the remaining time
may not be correct.
•
•
The remaining time is intended for rough measurement only.
About 30 seconds after the tape begins playback, the tape remaining time will be
displayed.
