BASIC OPERATIONS (cont.)
Time Code (DV Deck)
During recording,
a time code is
recorded on the
tape. This time
code is used to
confirm the
position on the
tape when playing
or editing a tape.
To perform
Random Assemble
Editing (੬ pg. 40),
time code is
necessary.
NOTES:
The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the
middle of a tape can result in misoperation.
A "blank portion" of a tape is a section where nothing is
recorded on the tape. If you start making a recording in a
blank portion of a tape, the time codes will start from
"0:00:00" again. If identical time codes are recorded in two
different places on a tape, Random Assemble Editing and
other similar functions might not operate properly.
In the following circumstances, you should play the tape
and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording
from there:
● When starting to record in the middle of a tape on which
a recording has already been made.
● When you have made a recording on a tape, then played
that recording back in order to check it, and now wish to
continue recording.
● When you have lost power or the batteries have died
while you were recording with a camcorder.
Tape Position Indicator
(VHS Deck)
The tape position indicator
appears on screen when,
from the Stop mode, you
press FF, REW or perform an
Index Search. The position
of "5" in relation to "0"
(beginning) or "+" (end)
shows you where you are
on the tape.
"O.S.D." (੬ pg. 55) must
be set to "ON", or the
indicator will not appear.
NOTE:
Depending on the type of tape used, there may be times
when the indication is not correct.
