Notes on writing the RC time code
•The RC time code writing stops when:
– you press TIME CODE WRITE again before starting playback.
– you press INDEX or DATE SEARCH before starting playback.
– you change from playback mode to another mode.
•When you are writing the RC time code from the middle of a tape without the time
code written, writing starts several frames before the current picture.
•If you write the RC time code on a recorded tape, the Data Code is erased.
•You can mark the RC time code on a tape recorded both in LP mode and SP mode, the
RC time code written in LP mode, however, may not be read correctly.
•You cannot mark the RC time code on a tape with the red mark on the cassette
exposed.
•A black band appears when you mark the RC time code during playback, and the
sound cannot be heard. This does not affect the picture and sound that are already
recorded.

•nothing is recorded.
•the RC time code is unreadable because of the damage of the tape or because of the
noise.
