Notes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• If the unit is left in playback pause mode for a long time, the tape or the video heads may

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be damaged or the video heads may become clogged. Select the shortest time possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Particularly, when using a Mini-DV cassette that is longer than 60 minutes, select [30

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SEC] or [1 MIN].

 

 

 

 

 

 

• When the setting is changed, the first tape protection mode change uses the time setting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from before the settings were changed. From the second tape protection mode change,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the new time setting is used.

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you play a tape recorded in HDV format with [STEP FORWARD] selected, the tape

 

 

 

 

 

 

advances a few frames forward.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM REC P

paused for more than 3 minutes.

Stops the tape.

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the recording pause mode continues for a long time after you select [REC PAUSE],

 

 

 

 

 

 

the tape may be damaged or the video heads may be damaged or clogged. If there is no

 

 

 

 

 

 

other reason to do this, select [STOP]. Particularly when you use a Mini-DV cassette that is

 

 

 

 

 

 

longer than 60 minutes, select [STOP].

TC/UB SET

HDV/DV IN

Selects whether to record internal time code or external time code while the unit records

 

 

 

 

 

TC

the signals input from HDV/DV jack.

 

 

 

 

INTERNAL

:

Records the time code generated by the internal time code generator. (If

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

no time code is recorded on the tape, the unit records time code from

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

00:00:00:00. If there is time code already recorded on the tape, the unit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

records continuous time code from this point.)

 

 

 

 

EXTERNAL:

Records the time code with video and audio signals input from

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HDV/DV jack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes

 

 

 

 

 

• When this item is set to [EXTERNAL], INPUT SELECT switch on the front panel is set to

 

 

 

 

HDV/DV, and no signal is input from HDV/DV jack, if you start recording, bars

 

 

 

 

(—:—:—:—) are recorded as time code. At the point that inputting of a signal begins, the

 

 

 

 

time code of that signal will be recorded.

If you set this item to [EXTERNAL] and the external time code input is discontinuous or does not advance correctly, recording or displaying the time code on the unit may not be done correctly. If there is a discontinuous time code on your recorded tape, you may not be able to edit or search correctly, depending on the device used to edit.
