To set the drop frame mode/non-drop frame mode (only for
the 59.94I format model, that is, an HDW-750 and an HDW-730
which operates with the 59.94I format)
You can select the drop frame (DF) mode or non-drop frame (NDF)
mode on the FUNCTION 1 page of the USER menu or OPERATION
menu or on the VTR MODE 3 page of the MAINTENANCE menu.
To make the time code continuous
When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN, recording a
number of scenes on the tape normally produces continuous time codes.
If, however, you take the cassette out at some point, the time code will
no longer be continuous.
To make the time code continuous, follow the procedure below.
1 Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to REGEN.
2 Use the PLAY buttons to play back.
3 Watching the playback, find the point of the previous recording on
the tape from which you wish to continue recording, and press the
STOP button.
4 Press the RET button on the lens.
This reads the previous recording and synchronizes the internal time
code generator, thus allowing the new time code recorded to follow
on consecutively.
4-5-2 Saving the Real Time in the Time Code
Setting the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to CLOCK saves the real
time in the time code.
When it is necessary to set the real time, use the TIME DATE page of
the DIAGNOSIS menu.
For details, see “4-8-6 Setting the Date/Time of the Internal Clock” on page 4-114.
