Displaying the recording data
When recording with the digital VCR, data such as the recording date,
time and the channel number are also recorded onto the tape at the
same time. If you play back a tape recorded with a Sony digital
camcorder, you can check the shutter speed, program AE mode, white
balance, iris and gain.
To display the recording data, press DATA CODE during playback.
Each time you press DATA CODE, the display changes as follows.
The data appears only during playback.
Displaying the remaining tape counter
When a tape is inserted, each time you press COUNTER SELECT, the
tape counter, the time code, and the remaining time counter appear in
sequence. To display them on the TV screen, press DISPLAY to turn the
display on, then press COUNTER SELECT.
Using the tape counter
Press COUNTER SELECT to display the tape counter. At the point on a
tape that you want to find later, press COUNTER RESET on the
operation panel to reset the counter to “0H00M00S.” Search for the
point afterwards by referring to the counter.

Tip
• The display appears on the
TV screen indicating
information about the tape,
but the information will not
be recorded on the tape.
Notes
• The counter resets to
“0H00M00S” whenever a
tape is reinserted.
• The counter stops counting
when it comes to a portion
with no recording.
• The counter indication may
be inaccurate when a tape
that has blank portions is
rewound or fast-fowarded
repeatedly.
• During fast-forward,
rewind, or search, the tape
speed automatically adjusts
to the remaining amount of
tape. In these cases, the
counter or time code
indication may stop
momentarily.
• Use the remaining time
display as an approximate
indication. In rare cases,
depending on the tape type,
the indication may be
inaccurate.
