Locations and Functions of Parts

6Character display

Shows character data, such as the tape counter value and menu items.

The tape counter value is a relative time (hours, minutes, seconds), which has the following meaning according to the mode of this recorder:

In playback mode: The tape position where the video information being output has been recorded.

In recording mode: The tape position where the current video information is recorded.

In other modes: The current tape position

Note

As the recorder employs a hybrid configuration of HDD and tape, the counter value being displayed in playback may considerably differ from the actual tape position. Therefore, the tape counter value may jump when you change the operation from PLAY to F.FWD/ REW mode.

7Time data indication

Shows the time to record on a single tape (Time mode) in hour units.

By setting “Front Time Disp” on the Indication Control menu (page 4-8), the tape remaining time for recording or current time can also be displayed in this section.
