9. TIME CODE OPERATION 9-4 Recording Time Codes in Continuation of Time Codes Recorded on Tape The GY-DV550 also incorporates a time code reader. Therefore, when the unit enters record mode from record-pause mode, it can read the time code data recorded on the tape and record time codes in continuation of the existing data. The recorded user's bit data is identical to the user's bit data recorded on tape. * However, approximately ±1-frame variations may occur in scene transition accuracy. To enable this, set the time code related switches as follows before starting recording. PRESET/REGEN switch CH-1 AUDIO LEVEL SEE INSTRUCTION MANUAL LITHIUM BATT.
