recommended that the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls be used.
Select in advance the audio channels whose levels are to be
adjusted, and while monitoring the level meter on the
viewfinder screen, adjust the F.AUDIO LEVEL controls in
such a way that the input will not be too high.

pressed, the flashing digit moves to
the right.

of the flashing digit by 1.

Open the <TC/UB> screen from the VTR MENU page
and select USER as the UB MODE item setting by
performing menu operations.
User bit memory function
The user bit settings (except for the actual time) are
automatically saved in the memory and retained even after
the power is turned off.
Tape continuity with the user bits
Selecting REGEN for the UB MODE item on the <TC/UB>
screen by performing menu operations will call up the user
bits recorded on the tape, making it possible to continue
recording from that value. However, it is not possible to record
the contents that were set.
<Note>
The time code/user bits are also recorded in the VIDEO AUX
area of the unit's memory. The time code (VITC) is the same
value as the sub code area's time code (LTC).
Special information such as the camera's frame rate is
recorded in the user bits (VITC's user bits).
