1) The DF/NDF setting on the [F9] button is applied to the time code only
when "prst" is specified by the [F7] button; the DF/NDF setting is always
applied for the CTL timer.
2) Specify the signal to be regenerated with the VTR SETUP menu item 608
"TCG/UBG REGENE MODE". Signals not specified by this menu item
are automatically set to Preset mode, regardless of the [F7] button setting.
Setting time codes

MODE) button in the TC menu and then follow the steps
below.
Notes
• Set the [F8] (RUN MODE) button to "rec" before setting
the time data for recording. When you select "rec", time
data advances from a set value only during recording.
When you select "free", time code advances in real time
after the initial value has been set.
• During recording, VITC is always written to the AUX
data area of the video signal.
