You can write the RC time code on a recorded tape. Use the Remote Commander.
(1) While pressing the small green button on the POWER switch, set it to VTR.
(2) Rewind the tape to the beginning and set the camcorder to playback pause
mode.
(3) Press TIME CODE WRITE on the Remote Commander. The TIME CODE
WRITE indicator appears in the viewfinder with the WRITE indicator flashing.
(4) Press · or P to start playback. The WRITE indicator stops flashing and the
RC time code writing starts from 0:00:00:00.
To stop writing the RC time code
Press π (or any tape transport button).
To write the RC time code from the end of the RC time code
recorded portion
Rewind the tape to the portion on which the RC time code has been written and set the
camcorder to playback pause mode. Then follow steps 3 and 4 above. The RC time code
is written continuously.
Notes on writing the RC time code
The RC time code writing stops when:
you press TIME CODE WRITE again before starting playback.
you press INDEX before starting playback.
you change from playback mode to another mode.
When you are writing the RC time code from the middle of a tape without the time
code written, writing starts several frames before the current picture.
If you write the RC time code on a recorded tape, the Data Code is erased.
You cannot mark the RC time code on the tape that is recorded in LP mode. Though
you can mark the RC time code on a tape recorded both in LP mode and SP mode,
the RC time code written in LP mode, however, may not be read correctly.
While the RC time code is being erased, the sound cannot be heard and a black band
appears at the bottom of the picture. This will not affect the recorded sound or picture.
