Newly Added/Enhanced Functions In The Tc Setup Mode; New Function For Default Ltc Start Time Editing - Fostex PD-6 Owner's Manual

V2.0 Supplementary manual

Newly added/enhanced functions in the TC Setup mode

Regardless of whether any option is fitted or not, the following two changes are made with the PD-6
software update to Version 2.0.
1) You can now edit the default LTC start time.
2) The "Set Gen TC" menu item in the REC RUN mode is enhanced.
Editing the default LTC start time
If the TC recording mode is set to "EXT RUN" but the PD-6 does not receive an external LTC, the
internal generator always starts the LTC from "1h 00m 00s" in the older version. In the new version,
you can edit the LTC start time using the "Default LTC time!" menu item newly added.
The following assumes that the DVD-RAM drive is loaded.
<Note>: When a paused timecode is fed to the [TIME CODE IN] connector, the PD-6 does not regard
it as a correct timecode. Only when receiving more than two continuous timecode frames, the PD-
6 regards it as the LTC start time.
1) While the recorder is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the [SHIFT] indicator, followed
by the [CONTRAST] key.
The display now shows the top page of the TC Setup mode.
2) Use the [SEL] dial to highlight the "Default LTC start" menu item newly added to the TC Setup
menu, and press the [ENTER] key.
The current LTC start time (by default, "01H 00M 00S") is shown.
3) Press the [ENTER] key again.
The second field of the LTC start time currently set starts flashing.
You can now edit the start time.
4) Edit the LTC start time and press the [ENTER] key.
You can select the field to be edited by using the [|<<]/[>>|] keys, and can enter the desired
value using the [SEL] dial or numeric keys.
Pressing the [ENTER] key after editing sets the new LTC start time effective.
The new LTC start time is stored to the PD-6 flash ROM.
5) Press the [EXIT] key repeatedly until the TC Setup mode exits.
