VHS player help?

Question

I changed my VHS player's counting from seconds to not sure what.

The movie is 128 mintues long and the player says 2:08. I really need to change it back. I'm taking Drama Film and Television and need to watch certain clips starting at certain times...eg 11:20...

Plus I filled up the timer by mistake with random alarm times (I was trying to get out of the timer settings)....how do I erase this?

My VHS player seems quite old it's SONY - if extra info is needed pleeease tell me.

OLD OLD OLD....no such thing as a clear button... I'm renting it in a tiny south american town - no quide - oh and the light got cut out last night (like always...it seems) and this morning the timer was off....but it still isn't counting seconds

Answer 1

128 minutes is 2 hours and 8 minutes so the 2:08 seems to make sense. It sounds like it is already set to count time. On my Sony VCR each time I remove and insert a video the counter resets to 0:00. I believe there should also be a counter reset button (may be labeled "clear").

As for the timer, you need to go back to the timer and select each timed event and then hit the clear or delete button ( you will need to read your manual to confirm which button to press)


edited ... I thought about this a bit more and just realized what you might have done. Sony's also have a feature that shows remaining time rather than elapsed time. Look for a button that switches between the two.
