Notes
• When the HDV formatted signals are recorded from
the   HDV/DV jack on this unit, a user bit is copied.
However, this bit cannot be preset (the user bit is
displayed as “– –   – –   – –   – – ”).  The time code is
set in accordance with the [TC MAKE] setting.  You
cannot copy the time code of a source tape.
• When images recorded in the DVCAM/DV format
are input from the   HDV/DV jack, you can preset a
user bit time code on this unit.  However, you cannot
copy the user bit and time code of a source tape.
• For a tape recorded both in HDV and DVCAM/DV
formats, the time code may become garbled at a
connecting portion between scenes on the tape.
• If you play back an HDV tape without signals
recorded, the time cord may become disordered.
• The time code cannot be reset on this unit from a
remote controller equipped with a counter reset
function.
Using the Internal Time Code
Generator
You can set the initial time code value generated by
the internal time code generator. In addition, you can
set the user bits to record data such as the date, time,
scene number, reel number, or other useful
information. The time data settings are set by using the
menu.
For details on the menu, see “Chapter 4 Adjusting and
Setting Through Menus” on page 45.
To set the initial time code value
This section describes how to set the time code’s initial
value.
Note
To set the initial time code value, you need to set [TC
MAKE] on the [TC/UB SET] menu to [PRESET]
beforehand. (p. 51)
