The selected time codes can be shown on the counter display
during playback and recording as follows.
Set the VCR Setup Menu item No. 516 DISPLAY SELECT to
"TC".
See page 69.
Set the COUNTER switch to "TC" or "UB".
TC: Time codes are displayed.
UB: User's bit data of time codes are displayed.
Setting the time code related switches
• Set the PRESET/REGEN switch to "PRESET".
• Set the REC/FREE switch.
REC : The data preset in the time code generator runs
only during recording.
Use this setting if it is required to record continual
time codes across different scenes.
* However, approximately ±1-frame variations may
occur in scene transition accuracy.
FREE : The time code starts to run from the time it is preset
in the time code generator.
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.
When this is the case and you want to enter the preset
mode, set the VCR Setup Menu item No. 398 SSF MODE
to "OFF", or set the PRESET/REGEN switch to the
PRESET position again.
