LANC jack
• When you connect the LANC jacks on this VCR and the other VCR,
this VCR can control the other VCR (player.) You can switch the VCR
you can control, using the PLAYER button and the RECORDER
button on the operation panel.
• The LANC connection transmits signals such as control signals, time
code and time counter data and status data.
• When connecting VCRs with the LANC cable, you need to set the
LANC mode for each VCR, using the menu or switch.
– On the VCR that controls the other VCR: set LANC mode to “M”.
– On the VCR to be controlled from the other equipment: set LANC
mode to “S”.
In the case of a camcorder that does not have a LANC mode switch or
a LANC mode menu, LANC mode is usually set to “S”.
Time code
• On this VCR, time codes are recorded automatically during
recording. To check the time code, press COUNTER SELECT until the
time code appears in the display window.
• This VCR can cope with both DF (Drop Frame) and NDF (Non Drop
Frame). Change the “TIME CODE” setting on the SET UP MENU, if
necessary. (page 21) (DSR-30 only)
Drop frame mode
The time code runs at 30 frames/second, while the NTSC color
television system runs at about 29.97 frames/second. This means that
a length of 1 hour as indicated by time code is longer than the actual
clock time of 1 hour. Drop frame mode eliminates this discrepancy. It
adjusts the running of time code by dropping two frames from the
time code value at the beginning of each minute except every tenth
minute.
Non drop frame mode
Non drop frame mode ignores the difference between the time code
and the actual clock time. This mode is also called “Full frame mode”
or “Normal frame mode.” Since it does not drop the frames, a length
of 1 day as indicated by time code is longer than the actual clock time
by about 86 seconds. It is not recommended to use this mode when
you edit the tape by deciding the time of the program by second, as it
is based on the actual frame number of the time code.
• On this VCR, the time code is recorded sequently from
“0H00M00S00F,” from the beginning of the tape. However, if there is
a blank section on the tape, time code is reset and recorded from
“0H00M00S00F” again from the section just after the blank section.
When you duplicate a tape using the DUPLICATE W/TC (Duplicate
with Time Code) button on the operation panel, the same time codes
recorded on the other VCR (player) are recorded on the tape.
• If the time codes are out of sequence, you may not be able to execute
correct editing.

Tips
•
If the other VCR has a
LANC jack of 5-pin DIN
type, connect with the VK-
810 Control L connecting
cable (not supplied).
•
The jacks labeled
CONTROL L or REMOTE
have the same function as
LANC jacks.
Notes
•
The VCR (recorder)
receives the time code data
from the LANC jack only
when the other VCR
(player) is set to show the
time code indications.
• If this VCR cannot control
the other VCR, check the
settings of “LANC MODE”
and “SHUTTLE MODE” on
both VCRs.
