Selecting The Time Code Format - Sony PCM-3348HR Operation Manual

7-2-3 Selecting the Time Code Format

While the PCM-3348HR is carrying out time code
chase operations, it plays back the time code on the
tape and synchronizes it with the external time code.
Therefore, the TIME CODE GEN format selection
switch should be set to the same position as the
external time code format and playback time code
format.
Procedure

unit and master unit have the same time code format.

same as the external time code.
