To record the time code
The following methods are available for
recording the time code.
• Set the initial value and record the time code.
• Externally synchronize the internal time code
generator.
To set the initial value and record the time code
Set an arbitrary initial value and then record the
output of the internal time code generator.
1
Display the TC Setup menu and then
1 select and confirm "TIMER
PRESET" t2 select and confirm
"TCG TC" t3 move the cursor to
and confirm the digit of the value you
want to change t4 rotate the
SELECT/ENTER dial to change the
value and then confirm the value.
Set the other digits as necessary.

settings, move the cursor to and confirm
"SET."
If "RUN MODE" is set to "F RUN," the time
code starts advancing immediately.
To set all digits to 0
Select and confirm TC Setup > TIMER RESET to
return all values to 0.
To externally synchronize the internal time code
generator

Use the following method to synchronize the time
code generators of multiple VTRs.
Display the TC Setup menu and then set "TCG
MODE" to "RGN" and select the signal for the
time code generator to regenerate in "REGENE
SOURCE."
For details, see "To select the time code to record"
(page 36).
To record the user bits
By setting user bits, you can record up to eight
hexadecimal digits of information (date, time,
etc.) in time code tracks.
To set an arbitrary value and then record user
bits
1
Display the TC Setup menu and then set
OTHERS > RT REC to "OFF."
To set arbitrary user bits regardless of the
setting of "TCG MODE," set TCG SET >
UBG SOURCE to "INT." If "TCG MODE"
is set to "PRST," TCG SET(MAIN) > UBG
SOURCE can be set to any value.
For details, see "To select the time code to
record" (page 36).
2
Set the user bits using the same
procedure as "To set the initial value and
record the time code" (page 37).
Tip
As with the time code, all digits can be returned to 0 with
"TIMER RESET."
To record the real time in user bits
1
Display the TC Setup menu and then
select and confirm the recording
method (VITC only, both VITC and
LTC, or LTC only) in OTHERS > RT
REC.
Tip
The setting of OTHERS > RT REC is given priority
regardless of the setting of TCG SET > UBG
SOURCE.
2
Return to the level above and then select
and confirm "RT SET."
The real time setting window appears.
