Chapter 1 Overview
4 Display window
1 END SEARCH button
When you press this button, the unit searches the tape
and plays back the last five-second recorded picture.
After playback, the unit turns to the stop mode. Use
this function to record another image at the end of the
last recorded portion or to check the image itself.
Note
If you use a cassette without cassette memory, the end
search function does not work once you eject the
cassette after you have recorded on the tape. If you use
a cassette with cassette memory, the end search
function works even if you have ejected the cassette
one or more times. If there is a blank portion at the
beginning or between recorded portions, the end
search function may not work correctly.
2 INDEX button
Press this button during recording to mark an index. If
you mark an index at the scene you want to search for,
you can easily find the scene later.
For details on index, see “Recording Functions” on page 44
(GB).
3 q (cassette) indicator
Lights when a digital video cassette is loaded. Even if
the unit is in the standby mode, the indicator lights as
long as a cassette is inside of the unit. While a cassette
is being ejected, the indicator flashes.
4 DVCAM indicator
Lights when the unit is playing back a tape recorded in
the DVCAM format. When REC MODE on the VTR
SET menu is set to DVCAM, this indicator also lights
during recording or when the unit is in the EE mode.
For details on the VTR SET menu, see “VTR SET menu” on
page 90 (GB).
5 Remote control detector
6 Time counter display
Displays time data (count value of the counter / time
code / user bits), the self-diagnostics code numbers
(page 100 (GB)), or the alarm messages (“Err” (page
97 (GB)).
When the count value of the counter is negative, “–”
appears as the first digit (leftmost digit). When that
value is positive, the first digit is blank.
When the format of the displayed time code is drop
frame mode, the drop frame indicator, located between
minutes and seconds, lights.
The user bits are displayed with periods (.) after each
digit.
Notes
• In the playback mode, if the tape has a portion where
recorded signals are not continuous;
– The count value of the counter may not advance
correctly from that portion.
– The displayed value of the time code or user bits
may be temporarily inaccurate.
• When this unit plays back a part of the tape where the
recorded color system has been changed between
PAL and NTSC, the displayed value may be
inaccurate.
• When this unit plays back a part of the tape where the
recording format has been changed between DVCAM
and DV, the displayed value may be inaccurate.
• The counter operates on a ±12-hour cycle. You
cannot make the counter operate on a 24-hour cycle.
• The count value of the counter consists of seven
digits. The leftmost digit is not displayed. (i.e.; If the
actual count value is “11:22:11:22,” the displayed
value will be “1:22:11:22.” ) However, the unit
recognizes that the hours value is 11.
