Using Memory
The linear time counter memory stops a rewinding tape at approximately 0:00:00M. This feature helps in locating
a specific point in the tape to which you wish to return. 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.
1. Press the DISPLAY button on the remote control so the linear time counter with memory is displayed as shown
in the figure.
2. Start recording or playback of a cassette. Press the COUNTER RESET button on the remote control at the
point to which you wish to return. The linear time counter clears to 0:00:00M.
3. Press the STOP button to stop playback, or press the start/stop recording and set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch
to VIDEO.
4. Press the REW button and the tape stops at approximately where you reset the linear time counter. This
feature works in F.F as well.
Using the Display Button
Pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control allows you to switch the displays in the viewfinder. When the
camcorder is turned on, the linear time counter appears.
• Pressing the DISPLAY button once displays the linear time counter with the memory feature.
• When a recorded tape is in the camcorder during the VIDEO mode, "SEARCH" appears in the viewfinder. (Refer
to "Date Search" on page 37).
• Pressing the DISPLAY button a second time returns to the linear time counter.
Note: The linear time counter with the memory feature in the viewfinder can also be displayed on the
connected television.
Creating and Recording A Title
Create titles easily and personalize your recordings while keeping a permanent visual record of what is contained
on a tape. The camcorder can store a title in its memory. A title stored in memory can be displayed and recorded
at any time. A title contains two lines of up to 16 characters per line. The camcorder contains 47 different
characters for creating a title. When creating and recording a title, use the TITLE ON/OFF button on the remote
control.
