BASIC OPERATIONS (cont.)
Time Code (DV Deck)
During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This time code is used to
confirm the position on the tape when playing or editing a tape. To perform Random
Assemble Editing (
Z
pg. 36), time code is necessary.
NOTES:
The presence of a blank (unrecorded) portion in the middle of a tape can result in misoperation.
A "blank portion" of a tape is a section where nothing is recorded on the tape. If you start making a recording in a blank portion
of a tape, the time codes will start from "0:00:00" again. If identical time codes are recorded in two different places on a tape,
Random Assemble Editing and other similar functions might not operate properly.
In the following circumstances, you should play the tape and confirm where a scene ends, and then begin recording from there:
●
When starting to record in the middle of a tape on which a recording has already been made.
●
When you have made a recording on a tape, then played that recording back in order to check it, and now wish to continue
recording.
●
When you have lost power or the batteries have died while you were recording with a camcorder.
Tape Position Indicator
(VHS Deck)
The tape position indicator
appears on screen when,
from the Stop mode, you
press FF, REW or perform an
Index Search. The position
of "
5
" in relation to "0"
(beginning) or "+" (end)
shows you where you are
on the tape.
"O.S.D." (
Z
pg. 52) must
be set to "ON", or the
indicator will not appear.
NOTE:
Depending on the type of tape used, there may be times
when the indication is not correct.
