9-2 Presetting and Recording of Time Code

The time code or user's bit data to be recorded onto the tape can be preset to a desired value.

U-ver. only
Drop frame/Non-drop frame mode
In the NTSC system, the actual number of frames per 1
second is approximately 29.97 frames, but the number of
frames that becomes the processing reference of the time
code is 30 frames. To compensate for this difference, the
mode called drop mode drops frame 00 and 01 for every
minute that cannot be divided by 10.
The non-drop frame mode is when no frames are dropped
and the actual time shift is neglected.
Note:
When the VCR Setup Menu item No. 398 SSF MODE is set
to CUE MODE or MARK MODE, the time code generator's
running method is internally set to the REGEN mode.
If No. 398 SSF MODE is not set to OFF, the time code
cannot be preset.
