Recording From The Middle Of A Tape

1)Play back a tape or use Blank Search

( pg. 21) to find the spot at which you want to start recording, then engage the Still Playback mode. ( pg. 20)

2)Set the Power Switch to “A” or “M” while

pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch, then start recording.

If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform Recording From The Middle Of A Tape (See the right column.) in the following cases;
