The data code will read “– – –” in the following situations:

During playback of a blank section of tape.

If the tape was recorded before entering the date and time in the camera’s memory.

If the tape was recorded on a camera without a data code function.

If noise or tape damage prevents the data code from being read.

If a recording made on ELURA2/ELURA2 MC is played back on a different DV camcorder, the data code may not be displayed correctly.

The data code will appear in the display even if DISPLAYS ( 132) has been set to OFF through the menu.
