PD-6 DVD Location Recorder (Chapter 2: Before using the PD-6)
The PD-6 offers realtime clock function.
The realtime clock data is used for a file name (date and time when the file is created)
when creating a new audio file on a disk, the time code start time when recording a time
code by the internal time code generator, and so on.
The realtime clock is adjusted according to the local time when shipped, therefore, set
the time to your local time before using the PD-6 (see "Chapter 7: Setup mode" on page
90 for details about realtime clock setting).
<Notes>
• When shipped, the file name mode is set to "DATE", therefore, the realtime clock
data is automatically used as the name of an audio file name created when recording.
You can edit the file name later.
See "Chapter 7: Setup mode" on page 99 for details about file name editing and file
name mode setting.
• Only when the TC GEN mode is set to "24H RUN", the realtime clock data is used as
the TC start time (see "Recording/playback" on page 72 for details about the TC
GEN mode).
The PD-6 uses MAXELL 8-centimeter DVD-RAM (double sided) disks shown below. You
can record data to both sides A and B. The arrows below show the direction for insertion.
