Note

When the REMOTE indicator in the front panel display section is lit, the COUNTER SELECT button does not operate during recording or playback. In such cases, use the external equipment connected to the REMOTE IN (R)/ OUT (P) connector on the rear panel to select the time data.

To reset the CNT value

Press the RESET button in the menu control section. This resets the CNT value to 0:00:00:00.

Using the Internal Time Code Generator

You can set the initial time code value before recording the time code generated by the internal time code generator onto a disk. In addition, you can use the user bits to record such data as the date, time, scene number, or other useful information.

When an external time code generator is connected to the TIME CODE IN connector, the internal time code generator can be locked to (synchronized with) an external time code.

Press the COUNTER SELECT button on the front panel. Each press of this button cycles through three options: CNT value, time code, and user bit data. The time data type indicator for each option lights as it is selected.
