Saving the SCENE data onto the tape
The SCENE data is saved before the tape is ejected. Normally, it is saved after the
final cut has been shot.
Set the menu SET/OFF selector switch to SET and display the MAIN FUNCTION
MENU.

MENU INITIALIZE
Menu item screen (viewfinder)
Use the ITEM button to align the arrow with the SCENE DATA SAVE position, and
press the UP or DOWN button.
The color of the screen changes to green, and the VTR starts operating in the
recording mode. It takes about 10 seconds for the SCENE data to be saved, after
which the original viewfinder screen is restored and “ok” indication will appear.
Notes:
$
Other operations cannot be performed while the SCENE data is
being saved.
$
When the tape is ejected, the SCENE data stored to date is
cleared, and the preparations are made to gather the SCENE data
for the next tape.
$
SCENE data cannot be saved from the SAVE mode (which is
automatically established to protect the tape when the unit has
been left standing in the REC PAUSE mode for more than 30
minutes). In this case, first press the STOP button to release the
SAVE mode, and then save the SCENE data.
Remarks:
$
If it is absolutely essential for the data to be restored because you
forgot to save it before the tape was ejected, reload the ejected
tape, display the MAIN FUNCTION menu screen, and use the ITEM
button to align the arrow with SCENE DATA UNDEL. The data can
now be restored by pressing the UP or DOWN button.
If the tape is reloaded after its ejection and recording is then
started, the data will be rewritten by the SCENE data for the new
tape. This means that the data cannot be restored.
The “ok” indication appears
after the scene data has
been saved.
