Notes on writing the RC time code
•The RC time code writing stops when:
–you press TIME CODE WRITE again before starting playback.
–you press INDEX before starting playback.
–you change from playback mode to another mode.
•When you are writing the RC time code from the middle of a tape without the time code written, writing starts several frames before the current picture.
•If you write the RC time code on a recorded tape, the Data Code is erased.
•You cannot write the RC time code on the tape that is recorded in LP mode. Though you can write the RC time code on a tape recorded both in LP mode and SP mode, the RC time code written in LP mode, however, may not be read correctly.
•While the RC time code is being erased, the sound cannot be heard and a black band
66 | appears at the bottom of the picture. This will not affect the recorded sound or picture. |
