Select the shortest time possible. Particularly, when using a Mini-DV cassette that is longer than 60 minutes, select [30 SEC] or [1 MIN]. • When the setting is changed, the first tape protection mode change uses the time setting from before the settings were changed.

Chapter 4 Adjusting and Setting Through Menus TC/UB SET menu Icon/Menu Submenu TC/UB SET HDV/DV IN TC Setting Selects whether to record internal time code or external time code while the unit records the signals input from HDV/DV jack. INTERNAL : Records the time code generated by the internal time code generator. (If no time code is recorded on the tape, the unit records time code from 00:00:00:00. If there is time code already recorded on the tape, the unit records continuous time code from this point.) EXTERNAL: Records the time code with video and audio signals input from HDV/DV jack. Notes • When this item is set to [EXTERNAL], INPUT SELECT switch on the front panel is set to HDV/DV, and no signal is input from HDV/DV jack, if you start recording, bars (-:-:-:-) are recorded as time code. At the point that inputting of a signal begins, the time code of that signal will be recorded. • If you set this item to [EXTERNAL] and the external time code input is discontinuous or does not advance correctly, recording or displaying the time code on the unit may not be done correctly. If there is a discontinuous time code on your recorded tape, you may not be able to edit or search correctly, depending on the device used to edit. 52 Chapter 4 Adjusting and Setting Through Menus
