1Cassette memory indicator

This item is shown when a cassette with cassette memory has been loaded. If the cassette is ejected while data is being written on the cassette memory, the indicator flashes.

2Tape transport mode indicator Displays the tape transport mode.

3Time counter (time code/user bits/count value of the counter) indicator

Displays the count value of the counter, time code, or user bits. By setting the COUNTER SELECT selector on the front panel, you can select the item to be displayed.

When the time code is displayed, TC appears to its left. In the drop frame mode, a period is displayed between the minutes and seconds. (Example: 00:12.58:00)

When the user bits are displayed, UB appears to their left.

When the count value of the counter is negative, “–” appears as the first digit (leftmost digit). When that value is positive, the first digit is blank.

The count value of the counter consists of seven digits. If the self-diagnostic function is enabled, diagnostics code numbers are displayed.

Notes

•The counter operates on a ±12-hour cycle. You cannot make the counter operate on a 24-hour cycle.

•The count value of the counter consists of seven digits. The leftmost digit is not displayed. (i.e.; If the actual count value is “11:22:11:22,” the displayed value will be “1:22:11:22.” ) However, the unit recognizes that the hours value is 11.

4Remaining tape time indicator Displays the remaining tape time.

Note

When you insert a cassette in which the tape has been rewound to the beginning, this indicator will not show the remaining tape time. The remaining tape time is displayed after the tape runs for a while.

5Search indicator

Displays the search mode when you search for scenes using the Remote Commander or the DSRM-20 (not supplied).

For details on the search function, see “Searching using the search function” on page 33 (GB).
