The indicator will start flashing.

11)Now press the UP or DOWN key to start the timecode generator.

The TC GEN indicator by the tape counter will light.

12) Press and hold the PLAY and press the ECORD key and the tape will start recording.

The TC REC indicator will light steadily.

The display will change from StoptoRun. Pressing the UP or DOWN key wh le the cursor is under this fi ld will stop the ge erator.

You can also start recording and hen start the timecode g nerator. In this case, an warning mes- sage will appear on the display screen as you start recording, to tell you that there is no tim code source.

If the Modefield is set to Continuerather than Reset, stopping the generator and then re- starting it will pick up the timecode values from where it left off.

Conversely, setting this field to Resetwill restart from the start time set above every time the generator is stopped and re-started.

It is also possible to “drop into” timecode record- ing by starting the transport in record mode and

then pressing the switch. However, we do not recommend this method of working, as it is impossible to check the timecode source prior to recording.

If the method described above (arming the time- code track, and then starting recording) is used, the tape counter is used to show the output from the timecode source (the generator) when the timecode track is armed, flashing when the tape is stopped, and steady when the tape is running.
