data
The recorded time code and user’s bit are read by the
built-in time code reader during tape playback.
The time data which is read out can be displayed on
the status display window or monitor screen.
Displaying the time data on the status
display window
The time data to be displayed is selected by the TCG

What time data is to be displayed is determined in two
stages: first by the position selected by the TCG
selector switch, and second by the position of the
DISPLAY switch.
