Using address mode
After synchronizing with the external time code, the
upper CUE display shows "L" (lock) to indicate the
synchronization.
If the offset error discrepancy exceeds the setting of
the lock window, the "L" indication changes to "Er,"
and re-synchronization begins.
Once synchronization is achieved, this returns to "L."
The re-synchronization process continues until you
either stop the tape transport or press the TC CHASE
button.
