the status display will vary; the status display describes the current
operations of the VCR.
ON SCREEN MODE ON:
• Whenever you press the PLAY 8 button or the STOP 9 but-
ton, some of the contents of the status display will appear for
five seconds.
ON SCREEN MODE COUNTER:

tape playback and when playback is stopped. Whenever you
press the PLAY 8 button or the STOP 9 button, some of the
contents of the status display will appear for five seconds. After
five seconds, only the counter will remain on the screen.
