(page)
TC/UB SET TC PRESET Resets/Sets the time code value.
TC
(page 56 (GB)) RESET: Resets the time code value to 00:00:00:00.
PRESET: Sets the time code value.
RETURN : Returns to the TC/UB SET menu without changing the time code value.
Note
Before setting the initial time code value, set TC MAKE to PRESET. If TC MAKE has been
set to REGEN, you cannot change the time code with this submenu.
UB PRESET Resets/Sets the user bits value.
(page 57 (GB)) RESET: Resets the user bits value to 00 00 00 00.
PRESET: Sets the user bits value. (You can set the user bits as eight-digit hexadecimal
values (0 to 9, A to F) (base 16) to have the date, time, scene number, and other
information inserted into the user bits.)
RETURN : Returns to the TC/UB SET menu without changing the user bits value.
TC FORMAT Selects the frame mode.
(page 59 (GB)) AUTO : Automatically sets the frame mode in accordance with the inserted cassette. (If
nothing is recorded on the tape, the mode is set to the non-drop frame mode. If the unit
cannot read the frame mode correctly in the tape, the unit will use the frame mode that
was set in the last position it was able to read correctly on the tape. If you turn the
power on/off or remove the tape, the mode of the last position it was able to read
correctly is cleared and the mode is set to the non-drop frame mode.)
DF: Selects the drop frame mode.
NDF: Selects the non-drop frame mode.
Notes
• This menu is displayed only for DSR-50.
• Regardless of this setting, the frame mode is set to drop frame when you record in DV
format.
TC RUN Selects the advancement mode (counting up).
(page 59 (GB))
REC RUN : Time code value advances only while recording.
FREE RUN: Time code value advances even when the unit is not recording. (This mode is
used to set the current time as the initial time code value, or to synchronize the internal
time code to an external time code.)
Notes
• If you set the advancement mode to FREE RUN, the time code will be updated by the
internal clock when the power is off. Therefore, when you turn on the unit again, the time
code may have been delayed or advanced somewhat.
• If the internal backup battery is exhausted, the time code of the FREE RUN setting is
initialized.

parameters but change them as needed.
Note
If the internal backup battery is exhausted, the menu settings will be
initialized. The internal backup battery is fully charged if you connect the
power to the unit for about 10 hours. The menu settings will be kept for
