Notes on erasing
• Press ERASE more than 2 seconds after the playback of the desired program begins.
• You cannot erase the index signal on a tape on which the red mark on the cassette is exposed.
• While the index signal is being erased, the sound cannot be heard and a black band appears at the
bottom of the picture. This will not affect the recorded sound or picture.
• The camcorder can detect index signals marked with VCR, but cannot erase them. VCR with a index
function can detect index signals marked with this camcorder but cannot erase them.
• An index signal may be erased when making PCM after recording in the portion where the index
signet is marked.
Note on RC time code and data code
When an index signal is erased, the RC time code and data code on the same portion of the tape is also
erased. Bars (—) appear in place of the RC time code when the portion is played back. To use that tape
for editing using an editing controller, rewrite the RC time code (p.39).
