Notes:

•To avoid accidental recording, make sure that you slide the tab on the cassette so that it exposes the hole (the switch position is usually labeled SAVE or ERASE OFF).

•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.

•Data code is sometimes not displayed during high speed playback modes.

•If a recording made on GL1 is played back on a different DV camcorder, the data code may not be displayed correctly.

•Contents of data code display may change according to D/TIME SEL. (p. 41) or DATA CODE settings made on the menu.
