Setting the Time Data
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 on the front panel 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.
Using the Internal Time Code
Generator
You can set the initial time code value before recording the
time code generated by the internal time code generator
onto a tape. In addition, you can use the user bits to record
such data as the date, time, scene number, reel number, or
other useful information.
When an external time code generator is connected to the
TIME CODE IN connector, the internal time code
generator can be locked to (synchronized with) an external
time code.
To set the initial time code value and user
bit data

Press the COUNTER SEL button to light the time data
type indicator “TC” or “U-BIT.”
TC: To set the initial time code value.
U-BIT: To set user bit data
The current time code value or user bit data is shown
in the time counter display.
