CHECKING THE AMOUNT OF TAPE REMAINING
When you load a video tape into the VCR it can calculate approximately the amount of video tape

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.
For example, if 1 hour 23 minutes is left on
the tape:
1.Press MENU to display the main menu
on the screen.
2.Press []to select MODE.
3.Press SET.
4.Press []to select REPEAT.
5.Press []to select ON.
6.Press SET.
7.Press MENU to return to normal screen.
