JVC VR-509E Setting the Date/Time, Adjusting the seconds Display with Button Operations

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.

* * / * * / 2 0 * *	* * : * *	2.

2.Select your desired item with [W/X], and then press [–/+] to change the value settings.

•Set the current date and time in “D”, “M”, “Y”, “H” and “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.

Installation and Preparation

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.

External	CLOCK	COM
	RESET IN
master clock

„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.

1st VR-509	2nd VR-509	LAST VR-509
CLOCK	CLOCK		CLOCK
RESET OUT COM	RESET IN COM		RESET IN COM

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.
