The time code input/output with a DV connection is different from that with other analog connections. For details, see "DSR-45/45P time codes" on page 63 (GB). • The time code output from this unit has some restrictions. For details, see "Notes on the Time Codes" on page 64 (GB).

Press the STOP button to turn the unit to the stop mode, then press the REC button. Look at the time counter display and check that the time code value displayed there matches the external time code value.
