10. TIME CODE OPERATION
The GY-DV5100 also incorporates a time code reader. Therefore, when the unit enters record mode from record-standby mode, it
can read the time code data recorded on the tape and record time codes in continuation of the existing data. The recorded user’s
bit data are identical to the user’s bit data recorded on tape.
●
However, approximately ±1-frame variations may occur in scene accuracy.
To enable this function, set the time code related switches as follows before starting recording.

CAUTION:
A time code with a duration of more than 2 hours may not
be displayed correctly by DV components for general
consumer use, as some of these lack the capability to
display longer time codes.
