Clock/calendar
The DV-RA1000 contains a battery-powered clock/
calendar which timestamps all files recorded on a
DVD disc. These timestamps are not visible from the
DV-RA1000, but may be viewed as part of the file
metadata when the unit is connected to a computer
(see “Use with a computer” on page 40).
Setting the clock follow these steps:
1 From the home screen, press the MENU key
and select SYSTEM SETUP . Press ENTER .
2 Select CALENDAR and press ENTER .
The currently-set date is shown in “military”
(year/month/day) format, as above or in US/
Japanese format (month/day/year) format.
You can change this with the preferences (see
“Calendar display” on page 18). Also note the
time zone setting in the preferences, which
allows you to compensate for time differences
if your project crosses to another time zone for
mastering, etc.
3 Use the cursor keys to navigate around the
fields, and the wheel to change values.
NOTE
The clock uses 24-hour format, i.e. 16:24 is used, rather
than 4:24pm.This cannot be changed.

tings, etc. can be checked in the following way:
