In either case, recording or playback will continue without
interruption. The TC indicator will appear in place of the
CHASE

Timecode offset
You can set an offset for master timecode synchronization.
By doing so, you can synchronize to master timecode for
playback with a set time difference (see “SYNC page” on
page 104).
Rechase
This unit continues to monitor master timecode even
after synchronized playback starts. Should the playback
time of this unit and the master timecode become
unsynchronized for any reason, the unit can “rechase”
the timecode. You can set whether or not the unit uses
rechase and the degree of the discrepancy that must
occur before rechasing (see “SYNC page” on page 104).
CAUTION
During synchronized recording, this unit only
synchronizes to the master timecode once at the start of
recording. There is no rechase function as there is with
synchronized playback.
