Time Code; Recording From The Middle Of A Tape - JVC GR-DVX507 Instructions Manual

Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from "00:00:00"
(minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code
continues from the last time code number.
To perform Random Assemble Editing (
portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time
code starts counting up again from "00:00:00". This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as
those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform "Recording From The Middle Of A
Tape" below in the following cases;
● When shooting again after playing back a
recorded tape.
● When power shuts off during shooting.
● When a tape is removed and re-inserted during
shooting.
● When shooting using a partially recorded tape.
● When shooting on a blank portion located
partway through the tape.
● When shooting again after shooting a scene then
