3.Use the jog dial or numeric keys to enter a numeric value.

When using the jog dial to enter a value, you can move the (flashing) digit to be edited by using the [SKIP/CURSOR] [<<] / [>>] keys.

When using the numeric keys to enter a time value, each number is entered from the right digit, which moves left as additional digits are entered.

You can enter up to "23H 59M 59S **F" (in which ** is one smaller than the frame rate number).

4.After entering the time, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The internal generator starts from the entered time when the [TC GEN MODE] switch is set to “FREE RUN”.

The DV40 can start recording from the entered time when the [TC GEN MODE] switch is set to “REC RUN”.

• Force-jamming to external time code

You can force-jam the internal generator time code to external time code.

To force-jam to external time code, you must set the "TC GEN MODE" switch to "FREE RUN". The following procedure assumes that the unit receives external time code from the [TIME CODE INPUT] connector.

1.Use the jog dial (or [SKIP/CURSOR] [<<] / [>>] keys) to select "Force JAM?" and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The unit force-jams to external time code and the force-jammed time code value is shown in realtime.

<Notes>

•When carrying out the above operation, if the [FRAME RATE] switch setting on the front panel does not match the frame rate of external time code, "Illegal Frame!" appears and the

operation is invalid.

•When carrying out the above operation, if no external time code is available, "Void LTC In!" appears.
