Time counter display
Press the COUNTER SELECT button on the front panel.
Each press of this button cycles through three options:
CNT value, time code, and user bit data. The time data type
indicator for each option lights as it is selected.
Time data Time data shown in the time counter
type display
indicator
COUNTER CNT (count value of the time counter)
TC Time code (when recording, the time code is
generated by the internal time code
generator; when playing back, the time code
is read from the tape.)
U-BIT User bit data (when recording, the user bit
data is according to the most recent settings;
when playing back, the user bit data is read
from the tape.)
Note
When the REMOTE indicator in the front panel display
section is lit, the COUNTER SELECT button does not
operate while the tape is moving. In such cases, use the
external equipment connected to the REMOTE connector
on the rear panel to select the time data.

COUNTER SELECT button
To reset the CNT value
Press the RESET (NO) button in the menu control section.
This resets the CNT value to 0:00:00:00.
Note
During playback, if the recording on the tape includes
discontinuities, the counter may operate incorrectly at the
corresponding points.
Using the Internal Time Code
Generator
You can set the initial time code value before recording the
time code generated by the internal time code generator
onto a tape. In addition, you can use the user bits to record
such data as the date, time, scene number, reel number, or
other useful information.
When an external time code generator is connected to the
TC IN connector, the internal time code generator can be
locked to (synchronized with) an external time code.
