How to set the time code
<Note>
If both the user’s bit and time code are to be used, set
the user’s bit first.
If the time code is set first, the time code generator
will stop while the user’s bit is being set so that the
time code setting will be off. The range in which the
time code can be set extends from 00:00:00:00 to
23:59:59:29.
Concerning the time codes when the battery is
replaced
The backup mechanism is still operational even when
the battery is being replaced, and the time code
generator continues operating for an extended period
of time (approx. one year).
Set the DISPLAY switch to the TC position.
1
Set the TCG selector switch to the SET
position.
2
Select DF or NDF as the setup menu item No.
510 (DF MODE) setting.
DF:
When the time code is to be advanced in
the drop frame mode
NDF:
When the time code is to be advanced in
the non-drop frame mode
3
Set the time code using the SHIFT button as
well as the “+” and “–” buttons.
SHIFT button:
This causes the digit to be set to flash.
Each time it is pressed, the flashing digit
moves to the right.
“+” button:
This increases the flashing digit by 1.
“–” button:
This decreases the flashing digit by 1.
4
Set the TCG selector switch to the F-RUN or R-
RUN position.
F-RUN:
When the time code is to be advanced
in the free run mode
R-RUN:
When the time code is to be advanced
in the rec run mode
<Notes>
O
At the R-RUN position, the first recording to be
made after the time code has been set starts
from the value which was just set. However, if
the time code was not set, recording starts at
the value which continues on from the value
which is read out from the tape.
O
Select PRESET for the setup menu item No.
532 setting in order to prevent the time code
from continuing on from the value which is read
out from the tape when recording after the
cassette has been inserted or after the stop
mode has been established.
