Setting the Time Data
To display the desired time data in the time
counter display
Press the COUNTER SELECT button on the front panel.
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 indicator in the front panel display
section is lit, the COUNTER SELECT button does not
operate during recording or playback. In such cases, use
the external equipment connected to the REMOTE IN (R)/
OUT (P) connector on the rear panel to select the time data.
To reset the CNT value
Press the RESET button in the menu control section. This
resets the CNT value to 0:00:00:00.
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 disk. In addition, you can use the user bits to record
such data as the date, time, scene 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.
