During recording, a time code is captured on the
tape. This code confirms the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank portion of the tape,
the time code begins counting from 00:00:00
(minutes: seconds: frame number). If recording starts
from the end of a previously recorded scene, the
time code continues from the last time code number.
Note: The time code is automatically set to
00:00:00 when a tape is ejected.
