Setting
Selects the time to switch to the tape protection mode from the still mode.
30 sec : 30 seconds
1 min : 1 minute
2 min: 2 minutes
3 min: 3 minutes
Notes
• If the unit is left in playback pause mode for a long time, the tape or the video heads may
be damaged or the video heads may become clogged. Select the shortest time possible.
Particularly, when using a Mini-DV cassette that is longer than 60 minutes, select [30
SEC] or [1 MIN].
• When the setting is changed, the first tape protection mode change uses the time setting
from before the settings were changed. From the second tape protection mode change,
the new time setting is used.
Selects the tape protection mode to change the mode after the time set in [STILL TIME] is
past
STOP : Stops the tape.
STEP FORWARD : Forwards one frame.

If you play a tape recorded in HDV format with [STEP FORWARD] selected, the tape
advances a few frames forward.
Selects the tape protection mode which the unit changes after the recording has been
paused for more than 3 minutes.
STOP : Stops the tape.
REC PAUSE : Maintains the recording pause mode.
Note
When the recording pause mode continues for a long time after you select [REC PAUSE],
the tape may be damaged or the video heads may be damaged or clogged. If there is no
other reason to do this, select [STOP]. Particularly when you use a Mini-DV cassette that is
longer than 60 minutes, select [STOP].
Setting
Reset the time code value or set the desired time code value.
RESET : Resets the time code value to 00:00:00:00.
PRESET : Sets the desired time code value.
Note
To set the initial time code value, you need to set [TC MAKE] to [PRESET] first. If [TC
MAKE] has been set to [REGENERATE], or [HDV/DV IN TC] has been set to [EXTERNAL],
this setting is not effective.
Resets the user bits value or set the desired user bits value.
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.)
Note
When INPUT SELECT switch is set to HDV/DV and HDV signals are input to the unit, this
setting is not effective. (When color bar is displaying or recording, this setting is effective.)
