Setting The Date/Time - JVC VR-509E Instructions Manual

Setting the Date/Time

1. Press the [MENU] button.
• Opens the menus in accordance with the instructions
provided in MENU Screen Operations (page 17) in the
sequence of "MENU" → "DETAIL OPERATION" →
"CLOCK SET".
* The time cannot be set when the VR-509E is recording,
during DVD exporting, or when operating in the timer
mode.
* Additionally, the time cannot be set when synchronization
with the web browser NTP server has been activated.
(See page 78)
* Take care when changing the date and time settings if
recording data is stored on the hard disk. If the dates and
times are duplicated or set earlier, there is a chance that
the playback, skip, jump, search and other operations will
not be performed normally.

"M".
3. Press the [SET] button.
• The date and time will now be set. The clock will start
operating at the set time with the second value at 00.
Adjusting the "seconds" Display with Button
Operations
The "seconds" display is adjusted by pressing [PLAY
STOP] while pressing down on [FUNCTION]. However, this
will not be reset during recording.
• When the "seconds" value is 29 or less, the "minutes"
value remains unchanged, and the "seconds" value is
reset to 00.
• When the "seconds" value is 30 or more, the "minutes"
value is increased by one, and the "seconds" value is
reset to 00.

Adjusting the "seconds" Display with the Signal
I/O Terminal
Clock Reset signal input terminal
The recorder's clock will be reset when the relevant signal
is input. The method of resetting the clock is the same as
explained above in "Adjusting the "seconds" display with
button operations."
• It is possible to align the time with the master clock and
the clocks on other equipment by receiving signals.

Clock Reset signal output terminal
The clock reset signal is output in accordance with the
following timing:
• When the recorder's internal clock reaches 00:00 or
12:00.
• It is possible to align the clock with two or more VR-509E
units in calibrations of seconds.

MEMO
• When the [CLOCK RESET OUT/IN] terminal is
connected, the time for two or more VR-509E units will
be synchronized twice a day at 12:00 noon and
midnight.
• Make sure the power supply to the relevant units has
been switched off before establishing the connection.
Adjusting the Clock with the NTP Server
It is possible to adjust the clock by connecting to the NTP
server. See the section on [Adjusting the Clock with the NTP
Server] on page 78 for more details.
* The internal clock is accurate to within about 60 seconds per
month. (If used in a 25°C environment) For greater accuracy,
access the NTP server.
* See "Using the NTP Server Function" on page 107.
CAUTION
When aligning the clock during recording with the clock
reset input or with the NTP server, there is a chance that the
recording time will be duplicated if the clock has advanced
past the actual time.
The search and audio playback functions will not operate
normally in this event.
* It is recommended that the clock is adjusted to the correct
time once per month to obtain accurate times.
