Note: Only replace the camera light bulb with VM-CP4L (optional) to reduce the risk of fire.
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. Continue recording or playback until ready to return. Press STOP when finished.
4. Press the REW/REVIEW button and the tape stops at approximately where you reset
the linear time counter. This feature works in F.FWD as well.
Setting the Date and Time
Take the time to set the date and time now: The time backup battery is rechargeable.
Charge the backup battery every two months. Set the CAMERA/OFF/VIDEO switch to
OFF and connect a charged battery or the AC adapter/charger to the camera/recorder
for 24 hours. If you record the date and time at the beginning of each recording session
they will serve as a handy reminder when viewing tapes at a later date.
Make sure that the current time is displayed correctly before you start filming.
Note: The backup battery should be charged every two months. If it is not charged
periodically, it will be over-discharged and its life will be shortened.
