Synchronizing the Time Codes
You can synchronize the internal time code generator of the unit by inputting an external time code signal (LTC).

To synchronize the internal time code to an external time code
1 Set the INPUT SELECT selector to other than DV.
2 Input an external time code (LTC) signal to the TC IN connector of the unit.
3 Set TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu to TC&UB EXT or TC EXT.
The internal time code generator locks onto the external time code and starts advancing. Once the internal time code generator has become synchronized in this way, you can disconnect the external time code input and this unit will maintain the time code from the external device.
Notes
•This unit has a DV IN/OUT connector. The time code input or output is different when you connect the unit to an external device via this DV IN/OUT connector or via another input/output connector.
For details, see
•The time code output from this unit has some restrictions.
For details, see “Notes on the Time Codes” on page 63 (GB).

To confirm external synchronization
Before you start recording, check that the internal time code is synchronized to the external time code.
Press the STOP button to put the unit into stop mode, then press the REC button.
Look at the time counter display and check that the time code value displayed there matches the external time code value.
