To set the counter reading to "0:00", press the COUNTER RESET button. Note: Precision of counter The tape counter is not a clock, and so there will be some errors in the time display compared to the actual recording time (this cannot be avoided, as a suitable method is adopted to provide a time display not only during recording and playback, but also during fast forward and rewind). The error depends on the type of tape being used. Tape remain indicator The tape remain indicator shows the remaining length of the loaded tape to be recorded. When the recording reaches the end of the tape, the leftmost digit of the tape remain indicator blinks. Indicates the remaining tape length.
