2 Saving the SCENE data onto the tape

The SCENE data is saved before the tape is ejected. Normally, it is saved after the final cut has been shot.

Set the menu SET/OFF selector switch to SET and display the MAIN FUNCTION MENU.

The “ok” indication appears after the scene data has been saved.

MENU INITIALIZE

Use the ITEM button to align the arrow with the SCENE DATA SAVE position, and press the UP or DOWN button.

The color of the screen changes to green, and the VTR starts operating in the recording mode. It takes about 10 seconds for the SCENE data to be saved, after which the original viewfinder screen is restored and “ok” indication will appear.

Notes: $ Other operations cannot be performed while the SCENE data is being saved.

$When the tape is ejected, the SCENE data stored to date is cleared, and the preparations are made to gather the SCENE data

for the next tape.

$SCENE data cannot be saved from the SAVE mode (which is automatically established to protect the tape when the unit has been left standing in the REC PAUSE mode for more than 30 minutes). In this case, first press the STOP button to release the SAVE mode, and then save the SCENE data.

Remarks: $ If it is absolutely essential for the data to be restored because you forgot to save it before the tape was ejected, reload the ejected tape, display the MAIN FUNCTION menu screen, and use the ITEM button to align the arrow with SCENE DATA UNDEL. The data can now be restored by pressing the UP or DOWN button.

If the tape is reloaded after its ejection and recording is then started, the data will be rewritten by the SCENE data for the new tape. This means that the data cannot be restored.
