Recording Time Codes in
Continuation of Time
Codes Recorded on Tape
This device also incorporates a time code reader. Therefore,
when this device enters record mode from record-standby
mode, it can read the time code data recorded on the tape
and record time codes in continuation of the existing data.
The recorded user's bit data are identical to the user's bit
date recorded on tape.
* However, approximately ±1-frame variations may occur in
scene accuracy.
To enable this function, set the time code related switches as
follows before starting recording.
Setting
• Set the TC GENE. switch inside the LCD door to REGEN.
• Set TC DUPLI. item on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen
to OFF.
MEMO
The time code framing mode automatically becomes the
mode (drop frame or non drop frame) already recorded on
the tape.

Playing Back Time Code
This device features a time code reader. During playback,
the time code or user's bit data recorded on the tape is dis-
played on the LCD screen or viewfinder status screen.
MEMO
• During playback, if a portion of tape without recording
time code runs through, the time code stops running.
Playback continues.
• When a tape with a time code that is longer than two
hours is played on home-use DV equipment, time code
may not be played properly on some models.
