4-3-2 Setting the Time Code
Reader (TC SEL)
Press the [F5] (TC SEL) button to select the time code
to be read by the time code reader during playback.
VITC: Reads VITC.
AUTO: Reads VITC when the playback speed is +/
–1/2 times normal speed or less, and LTC when it
is greater than +/–1/2 times normal speed.
LTC: Reads LTC.
Depending on the time code recorded on a tape, VITC
or LTC appears on the display.
Time codes that are read by the time code reader or
played back are output from the TIME CODE OUT
connector.
4-3-3 Setting the Time Code
Generator (TCG SOURCE/MODE)
There are two ways to record time codes on the VTR.
One way is to record the output of the VTR’s internal
time code generator. The other is to directly record
time codes that are input from an external time code
generator.
The output from the internal time code generator can
either be set to a specified initial value, or
synchronized with an external time code generator.
Selecting the time code generator
Press the [F6] (TCG SOURCE) button repeatedly to
select the time code generator.
int: Selects the time code generated by the internal
time code generator.
ext: Selects an external time code input to the TIME
CODE IN connector, or synchronizes the internal
time code generator to an external time code
generator.
