l This function accurately displays the tape remaining only for tapes recorded in PAL mode. (It does not accurately
display the tape remaining for tapes recorded in NTSC or MESECAM modes.)
l When you insert the tape and the VCR is in the stop mode, the tape remaining cannot be computed. The following
indicator is shown when the tape remaining has not yet been computed or cannot be computed.
l When you start recording or playback, the VCR will begin the computation. However, this may take some time.
When computation is completed, tape remaining will be shown on the OSD and VCR display for 5 seconds.
l If the “REM.” mode is selected with the MODE OSD or DISPLAY button and the VCR is in stop mode, the tape will
automatically fast forward or rewind for a few seconds and then the VCR will begin computing the amount of tape
remaining.
l During computation, the REC button will not function, and pressing the STOP, PLAY/x2, or other buttons will
interrupt the computation.
l Setting the DPSS or ZERO-BACK function during computation may cancel it.
l The indicated length of tape remaining is only an approximate guide.
l This function may not properly work for video tapes other than E60, E90, El80 and E240.
l The length of tape remaining during fast forward or rewind may be indicated as greater than it actually is.
l When w and Sm tapes are used with a cassette adapter, the indication may not be correct.
Warning for the length of tape remaining
When the tape reaches the point where only about five minutes of recording time is left, the remaining
length of tape will be automatically displayed, as a warning.

l No warning, however, will be shown during timer recording or Simple Recording Timer recording.
