Time Code & User’s Bit
Time code
The  time  code  signal  is  generated  by  the  time  code
generator  and  recorded  on  the  tape,  and  its  value  is
read  by  the  time  code  reader.    The  time  code  is  used
to  display  the  absolute  position  of  the  tape  in  hour,
minute, second and frame increments.
The  time  code  is  written  in  the  sub-code  area  (data
area)  on  the  helical  track.    For  this  reason,  the  VTR’s
playback  speed  can  be  read  out  from  the  stop  mode...
