Time Code Display
During recording, a time code is

confirms the location of the recorded
scene on the tape during playback.
If recording starts from a blank
portion of the tape, the time code
begins counting from 00:00:00
(minutes: seconds: frame number). If
recording starts from the end of a
previously recorded scene, the time
code continues from the last time
code number.
Note
: The time code is automatically set
to 00:00:00 when a tape is ejected.
