Displaying Time Data and Other Text Information
Chapter 3 Convenient Functions for Editing Operation
To display the desired time data in the time
counter display
Open the door on the lower part of the front panel, and
press the COUNTER SEL button.
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.
Note
When the REMOTE button is lit, the COUNTER SEL
button does not operate while the tape is moving. In such
cases, use the external equipment connected to the
REMOTE connector on the rear panel to select the time
data.
To reset the CNT value
Press the RESET (NO) button on the menu control panel.
This resets the CNT value to 0:00:00:00.
Note
During playback, if the recording on the tape includes
discontinuities, the counter may operate incorrectly at the
corresponding points.
