2Set the TCG switch to SET.
3Switch the TC MODE to DF or NDF on the TC/UB
screen of VTR MENU.
Select DF to run the time code in the drop frame

non-drop frame mode.
4Set the time code using the SHIFT button, “+”
button and “–” button.

This is used to start the digit to be set flashing.
Each time it is pressed, the flashing moves by
one digit to the right.

flashing digit.
“–” button:
This decrements by 1 the numerical value of the
flashing digit.

Setting the time data
Time code when the battery is replaced
The backup function works even when the battery is
replaced, and the time code generator continues to
operate for a prolonged duration (approx. 1 year).
<Note>
When the POWER switch is set to ON 5OFF 5
ON, the backup accuracy of the time code is
approximately ±2 frames.

<Note>
When the frame rate is set to 24 frames/sec. (23.98
Hz), this unit will perform the processing in the non-
drop frame mode in order to maintain the continuity of
the frames even when the time code has been set to
the drop frame mode. Furthermore, when the frame
rate has been set to 24 frames/sec. (23.98 Hz), it will
not be possible to set the time code while recording is
in progress since the images will be disturbed if the
advancing of the time code is discontinuous.
