Enhanced "Set Gen. TC" menu item

With the version 2.0 software, when the generator mode is set to "REC RUN", the editing function for

the internal timecode generator starting time is enhanced.

This functional enhancement allows you to set the last timecode value of the previously recorded

file to the timecode starting value of the next file if a disk (or partition) is changed. Therefore, you

can stripe a continuous timecode between different disks (or partitions).

• Editing the timecode starting value of the internal timecode generator

The following procedure shows the example of striping a continuous timecode between two DVD-

RAM disks (disk 1 and disk 2). It is assumed that two files are currently recorded by the REC RUN

mode on disk 1, while disk 2 is blank, and a new file with a timecode which continues after the

second file on disk 1 is going to be striped to disk 2.

It is also assumed that disk 1 is set to the PD-6 and the REC END point of the second file on disk 1 is

currently located.

While the recorder is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the [SHIFT] indicator, followed

by the [CONTRAST] key.

The display now shows the top page of the TC Setup mode.

Use the [SEL] dial to highlight the "Set Gen. TC" menu item and press the [ENTER] key.

The display shows the current generator mode and timecode value of the internal timecode

generator. The current timecode starting value is shown as "--H --M --S --F".

• Timecode starting value "--H --M --S --F"

If you record the next file in the "REC RUN" mode while "--H --M --S --F" is shown, the PD-6

stripes a timecode which continues after the previous file. However, if you start recording

when "No File" is shown (i.e. no file is recorded on the current DVD-RAM disk or partition),

the PD-6 stripes timecode from "00H 00M 00S 00F". If you make next recording, the PD-6

stripes a timecode which continues after the previous file. You can edit the timecode start-

ing value to a desired value if necessary.

Press the [ENTER] key again.

The display shows the editing screen, on which the timecode value at the REC END point of the

current file is shown. You can now edit the flashing frame field.

The screen example right below shows the timecode value at the REC END point is "03H 45M

00S 00F".
