Settings Menu 4 Chapter
To pause the current time
Press the [F4] (TIMER HOLD) button.
The time is paused only while the button is held down.
Press the [F5] (TCR SEL) button to select the time code to be read by the time code reader during playback.
VITC: Reads VITC.
auto: Reads VITC when the playback speed is ±1/2 times normal speed or less, and LTC when it is greater than ±1/2 times normal speed.
LTC: Reads LTC.
Depending on the time code recorded on a tape, VITC or LTC appears on the display.
Note
Time codes that are read by the time code reader or played back are output from the TIME CODE OUT connector.
There are two ways to record time codes on the VTR. One way is to record the output of the VTR’s internal time code generator. The other is to directly record time codes that are input from an external time code generator.
The output from the internal time code generator can either be set to a specified initial value, or synchronized with an external time code generator.
The internal time code generator time code settings are made with the [F6] (REGENE SOURCE)/[F7] (TCG MODE) buttons. Menu selections and settings are shown in the following table.
