Section 7 : Recording/editing of subcode data
The ABS time is the elapsed time (absolute time) from the
beginning of the tape.
When recording is performed from the beginning of the
tape, the ABS time is automatically recorded.
·When recording is performed from a point other than
the beginning of the tape, ABS time is not recorded.
·Even with a tape on which the ABS time has been
recorded, ABS time is not recorded if recording starts
from a non-recorded section.
·When recording continuously on a tape with the ABS
time recorded, fast forward the tape to the End ID or
execute Blank Search (úp.25) to wind the tape to the
point just before a non-recorded section, then start
recording. This ensures that the ABS time is recorded
continuously.
7-6. ABS time
The program time means the elapsed time from the begin-
ning of each program (Start ID).
The program time is recorded with the Start ID for 9 sec-
onds in the same way as the program number.
When the Start ID is erased, the program time is erased at
the same time.
·The program time is recorded for 9 seconds. However,
when the part after that is played back, the program
time is shown using internal counting.
