To reset the CNT value Press the RESET (NO) button in the menu control section. The time counter display changes to 0:00:00:00. Notes • When the remote control switch on this unit is set to 9PIN or i.LINK, and an external device is connected to the REMOTE connector or HDV/DV connector on the rear panel, then it is only possible to switch TC and UB by pressing the COUNTER SELECT button on this unit. In this case, switch the time data display from the external device. • During playback, if there are discontinuous sections of recording on the tape, these may cause the counter to malfunction. Note The count value of the counter in this unit is a value simply calculated from timecode. Therefore, calculation may not be accurate in the following cases. • When using a tape on which discontinuous timecode is recorded • When using a tape containing both DF mode and NDF mode recordings • When using a tape with unrecorded sections or discontinuously recorded sections between recorded sections • During playback, the counter value may be inaccurate at the boundary between recordings in different video formats (HDV, DVCAM, or DV). 34 Displaying the Time Data and Operating Mode
