Time code/user’s bit playback

1 Set the VTR to the stop mode.

2 Set to TC or UB using the COUNTER button.

TC: The time code appears on the display.

UB: The user’s bit appears on the display.

O If the time code cannot be read, it is interpolated using the CTL signal.

3 Press the PLAY button.

Playback is now commenced, and the time code appears on the display.

When “ON” has been selected as the setup menu item No.002 setting, the time code will be superimposed onto the video signals from the MONITOR OUT connector. (See page 29)

<Notes>

O The colon between the seconds and frames changes to a period when a drop frame time code has been read.

O When the time code signal is missing, it is automatically interpolated by the CTL signal.

The following appears on the display.

TR 00 : 07 : 04 : 24

The colon between the seconds and frames changes to a period when a drop frame is read.

An asterisk ( ) appears when the time code signal is missing.
