In the play mode or the record mode, the reproduced time codes or user's bits are shown on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder. • Time code generator data is output from the [TC OUT] ter- minal or [HD/SD-SDI] terminal. The time codes or user's bits can be shown on the LCD monitor or in the viewfinder during playback and recording as follows. (Status screen) Setting 1. Set the TC/UB item on the LCD/VF[3/4] menu screen to ON. • Time codes or user's bit data are displayed on the STATUS screen. Time code indication (Example) Time code indication 00:00:00:00 User's bits indication FF EE DD 20 STATUS 1 screen 2. Whether time codes or user's bit data should be dis- played is selected with the TC DISPLAY switch inside the LCD door. TC : Time codes are displayed. UB : User's bit data is displayed.

FREE REC REGEN Displayed Time Code/User's Bit • When TCG SOURCE on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen is set to INTERNAL, values from the built-in time code generator is displayed. • When TCG SOURCE on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen is set to EXTERNAL, values from the external time code generator connected to the [TC IN] terminal is displayed. • When TC DUPLI. on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen is set to ON in IEEE1394 input mode, values input in the [IEEE1394] terminal is displayed. • Values recorded on the tape are displayed for PLAY mode. Time code input entered the IEEE1394 connector Pressing the STOP button for 1 second in the EJECT or stop mode displays the DV input time code data or user's bit data from the IEEE1394 connector on the STATUS screen. DTCG : The time code data from the IEEE1394 connector DUBG : The user's bit data from the IEEE1394 connector To return to display of the original time code or user's bit, press the STOP button. (Display of the normal time code or user's bit is also restored by performing VTR operation.) MEMO • To use input time code data from the IEEE1394 terminal, set TCG SOURCE item on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen to INTERNAL. • To record HDV/DV input time code and user's bit from the IEEE1394 connector, set the TC DUPLI. item on the TC/UB/CLOCK menu screen to ON. X See page 93. • To maintain the continuity of time code data, use with the TC GENE. switch set to REGEN mode when recording HDV/DV input signal from the IEEE1394 connector. • There is no time code display for HDV input. CAUTION A time code with a duration of more than 2 hours may not be displayed correctly by DV components for general consumer use, as some of these lack the capability to display longer time codes.
