Saving The Real Time In The Time Code - Sony DVW-707/707P Operation Manual

Making the time code continuous
When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN, recording a
number of scenes on the tape normally produces continuous time codes.
If, however, you take the cassette out at some point, the time code will
no longer be continuous.
To make the time code continuous, follow the procedure below.
1
Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to REGEN.
2
Use the PLAY buttons to play back.
3
Watching the playback, find the point of the previous recording on
the tape from which you wish to continue recording, and press the
STOP button.
4
Press the RET button on the lens.
This reads the previous recording, and synchronizes the internal time
code generator, thus allowing the new time code recorded to follow
on consecutively. (When the Loop Rec function is on, this function
does not operate.)

4-5-3 Saving the Real Time in the Time Code

Setting the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to CLOCK saves the real
time in the time code.
When it is necessary to set the real time, use the VTR menu.
For more information about the VTR menu, see Section 4-10 "VTR Menu Display
in the Display Panel" (page 4-99).
