Cassette
• Beforo storing it, rewind the t;.tpo to the beginning.
If the
Cassette is left
6 months with the tape stopped midway, the tape sags (although it depends on the storage condition).
Be sure to rewind to the beginning.
1,Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct
sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may damage the tape. DUSt contains hard mineral particles, and dusbJ C_tssettes damage the
hcads of the Camcordor and other components.
Develop a habit of returning tho Cassette back to its CaSe.
1,Once overy half year, wind the tape to the end and then rewind it to the beginning.
If the
Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without
winding or rewinding, tomperatsro and humidity changes may cause the Cassette to deform duo to swelling, shrinifJng, and so forth. The wound
-8#tape may stick to itself.
O_hers l
ode not plaso a Cassette near highly magnetic substances or equipment.
eThe surf;Ice of the tape is covered with extremely minute magnetic particles,
upon
which signals are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc., have a magnetic force that is stronger than you may expect, and they may erase the contents of a recording or may cause
noise in images and sounds.

Time Code
Time Code signLtls are data fhaf indJcLttc fimc measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (30 frames per second). If this data is
included in a recording, an address is assigned to each imago on the tape.
eThe Time Code is automafJcally recorded as a part of the sub-code at each recording.
eWhcn a new {previously unrecorded) Cassette
is inserted, fhc Time Code aufomafJcally starts from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted, the Time Code picks up from the point where the last scene was recorded. {In this case, when the Cassette is inserted, fhe zcre displLty
[0h00m00s00fJ may appear, but the Time Code starts from the previous value.)
eThe Time Code cannot bc reset fc zero.
eUnlcss the Time Code is continuously recorded from fhc beginning of a tape, acoumfe editing may not be possible. To ensure that the Time
Code will be recorded with no breaks, we recommend fhe use Ofthe Blank Search
