Notes:
• The data code will read “– – –” in the following situations:
– During playback of a blank section of tape.
– If the tape was recorded before entering the date and time in the camera’s memory.
– If the tape was recorded on a camera without a data code function.
– If noise or tape damage prevents the data code from being read.
• If a recording made on XL1S is played back on a different DV camecorder, the data code may not be
displayed correctly.
• The data code will appear in the display even if DISPLAYS (p. 37) has been set to OFF through the menu.
