Time code/user bit
Time code
The time code is used when the time code signal
generated by the time code generator (time code signal
generator) is to be recorded on the tape, its values are to
be read by the time code reader (time code signal reader),
and the absolute position of the tape is to be displayed in
increments of hours, minutes, seconds and frames.
The time code is written in the sub-code area (data area)
of the helical track. The VTR’s playback speed can be
read from the stop mode to slow-motion playback up to
high-speed play (approx. 50 a normal speed approx. 100
a when using DVCPRO tape).
The time code values are indicated using the display and
superimpose functions.

Hours Minutes Seconds Frames
User bit
“User bit” refers to the 32-bit (8-digit) data frame among
the time code signals which has been released to users. It
enables operator numbers values to be recorded. 
The alphanumeric characters which can be used for the
user bit are the figures 0 to 9 and the letters A to F.
Setting the internal time code
(1) Set the VTR to stop mode.
(2) Select “TC” using the COUNTER button.
(3) Set the run mode for the time code generator
using setup menu No. 513 (RUN MODE).
REC:
The internal time code generator is advanced during
recording.
FREE:
When the power is on, the internal time code
generator is advanced regardless of the operation
mode.
(4) Set the TCG switch to REGEN mode.
REGEN:
In this mode, the continuity of the original time code
is maintained.
A more detailed setting can be performed using
setup menu No. 503 (TCG REGEN).
PRESET:
In this mode, recording is commenced from the
value which was set by the TC PRESET button.
(5) To preset the time code or user bit, take the
following steps.
Set the TCG switch to “PRESET.”
Select “TC” or “UB” using the COUNTER button.
When the TC PRESET button is pressed, operation
is transferred to the setting mode, and the setting
digits start flashing on the counter display.
Operate the joystick, and set the preset value.

Setting the external time code
(1) Set the VTR to stop mode.
(2) Select “TC” using the COUNTER button.
(3) Set the TCG switch to EXT. (External time
code selection)
(4) The following settings can be selected with
setup menu No. 505 (EXT TC SEL). 
(only when AJ-YA93P is installed).
LTC:
The LTC signal input to the TIME CODE IN
connector (BNC) on the rear panel is recorded as
time code.
VITC:
The VITC of the input video signal or time code on
IEEE 1394 is recorded.
Reproducing the time code/user bit
(1) Set the VTR to stop mode.
(2) Select “TC” or “UB” using the COUNTER
button.
(3) Press the PLAY button.
Playback starts and the time code is shown on the
display.
When the SUPER switch is set to ON, the time code
value is superimposed on the video signals from the
VIDEO MON connector.
Note:
When the time code signal cannot be read, the
time code is automatically interpolated by the
CTL signal. The display appears as shown below. Note:
The LTC must be synchronized with the video
signal.
The AJ-YA93P analog I/O board option is
required.

Video head cleaning
Condensation
Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved
when droplets of water form on a window pane of a
heated room. It occurs when the unit or tape is moved
between places where the temperature or humidity varies
greatly or when, for instance:
•It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room
immediately after it has been heated up.
•It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or
humid location. This unit is equipped with an auto head cleaning function
which automatically reduces the amount of dirt on the
video heads. However, in order to maximize the unit’s
reliability, it is recommended that the video heads be
cleaned as and when appropriate.
When moving the unit to locations such as these, leave it
standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on the
power immediately. If condensation occurs in the unit, “E-
20” will flash on the counter display and the cassette will
be automatically ejected.
Leave the unit with the power on until “E-20” is cleared
from the display.
Maintenance
Before starting any maintenance work, switch the power
to OFF and, holding the plug, unplug the cord from the
socket.
Use a soft cloth to clean the outside of the unit.
For stubborn dirt or stains, wipe the unit with a cloth that
has been lightly dampened with well-diluted kitchen
detergent and wrung out thoroughly.
After wiping off the dirt with the damp cloth, finish it off
with a dry cloth.Note:
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or any other
solvents as they may affect the color of external parts
or damage the unit’s coating. For further details on how to actually clean the heads,
consult with one of our service companies or with your
dealer.

the IEEE 1394 digital interface are not
DVCPRO/DV (25 Mbps) format 1x transfer
signals.Check the 1394 input
signals.
E-12
(NOT 1x 50M SIG)
This appears when the signals supplied from
the IEEE 1394 digital interface are not
DVCPRO50 (50 Mbps) format 1x transfer
signals.Check the 1394 input
signals.
E-16
(INVALID VIDEO
SIG)This appears when the compressed video
signals supplied from the IEEE 1394 digital
interface are irregular signals.
•This warning appears only during recording
operations. In such cases, no signals are
recorded on the tape, and only erasure of
existing signals is performed.Check the 1394 input
signals.It is possible that
playback signals of an
unrecorded tape are
being input.
E-17
(INVALID AUDIO
SIG)This appears when the audio signals
supplied from the IEEE 1394 digital interface
are irregular signals.
•This warning appears only during recording
operations. In such cases, the signals are
recorded with the audio signals muted.Check the 1394 input
signals.It is possible that
signals other than 1x
playback signals are
being input from a VTR
or other device.
E-18
(INVALID TC SIG)This appears when the time code
information supplied from the IEEE 1394
digital interface is irregular information.
•This warning appears only during recording
operations. In such cases, the internally
generated time code is recorded.Check the time code of
the device which is
supplying the time code.
E-92
(1394 INITIAL
ERROR)This appears when the connection status of
the IEEE 1394 digital interface is irregular.If a loop-through format
has been adopted for the
cable connections, re-
connect each of the
cables on a 1:1 basis. If
such a format has not
been adopted, set the
POWER switch to OFF
and then back to ON.
E-10
(FAN STOP)This appears when the fan motor has shut
down.Check the fan for foreign
matter.
E-09
(NO RF)This appears when a blank section lasting
for more than one second on the tape has
been detected during playback.
A blank section is identified as such when all
the following conditions are met:
•There are no output signals from any of the
heads.
•The playback data cannot be read.
•There is no CTL signal (DV/DVCAM tapes
excluded).Check the tape. It is
possible that an
unrecorded tape has
been loaded.
E-00
(SERVO NOT
LOCKED)This appears when the servo is not locked
for three or more seconds during playback
or recording.Check the tape. It is
possible that a tape
recorded by a system
other than 525/60 has
been loaded.No recording
operations
are possible.
