You will find the tape length printed on the left hand side of the front narrow edge. However, the actual playing time might be a little longer than specified (e. g. : 2:05 hours). You can read the exact number of minutes played in the display during fast forward, rewinding, recording, playing back and pause/stop, e. g. : 'U1:25'.
