Setting the time data

When the user’s bit and time code are both to be used, the user’s bit is set first.

If the time code is set first, the time code generator will stop while the user’s bit is being set so that the time code setting will be off.

The time code setting range extends from 00:00:00:00 to 23:59:59:29.

Setting the user’s bit

Setting the user’s bit enables information such as memos (dates, times) up to 8 digits in hexadecimal notation to be recorded on the sub code track.

1 Set the DISPLAY switch to UB.

2 Set the TCG switch to SET.

3 Set the user’s bit using the SHIFT button, “+” button and “–” button.

SHIFT button:

This is used to start the digit to be set flashing. Each time it is pressed, the flashing moves by one digit to the right.

“+” button:

This increments by 1 the numerical value of the flashing digit.

“–” button:

This decrements by 1 the numerical value of the flashing digit.

A to F in hexadecimal notation are displayed as follows:
