a)This includes stop, fast-forward or rewind. If the unit cannot read the time code on the tape correctly, the counter displays “– –:– –:– –:– –” and the time code is not output from the TC OUT connector.

b)“DUB1”, “DUP1” and “REC1” represent the state of the unit when you press each of these buttons (AUDIO DUB, DUP or REC) in the stop mode. If the counter displays “– –:– –:– –:– –”, the time code is not output from the TC OUT connector when you press the AUDIO DUB button in the stop mode.

c)The time code is also displayed on the time counter display in the display window.

d)When the DVCAM/DV select switch is set to DV, the time code generated internally is output.

Notes on the Time Codes

Time codes output from the unit have the following restrictions:

•The unit outputs an EE signal when it is in recording or recording pause modes, or when you press the REC button.

While the unit outputs an EE signal, only the time code from an external device that is connected to the TC IN connector will be through-output from the TC OUT connector when the INPUT SELECT selector is set to other than DV and TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu has been set to other than INTERNAL. (The time code and user bits that are internally generated are not output from the TC OUT connector.)

In this case, as a result, the time code will not be output from the TC OUT connector when the time code is not input from the external device connected to the TC IN connector.

You need to set TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu to INTERNAL to output a time code from the TC OUT connector even if no time code has been input from an external device connected to the TC IN connector.

To set the unit to inherit a time code from the external device even after you set TC/UB IN to INTERNAL from some other setting, follow the steps below.

1Match the settings (used when TC/UB IN is set to INTERNAL) of the unit with the external device time code format. (See the setting example below.)

2After setting TC/UB IN to other than INTERNAL, input the time code from the external device connected to the TC IN connector.

3Set TC/UB IN on the TC/UB SET menu to

INTERNAL.

4Disconnect the external device from the TC IN connector.

Setting example

If the time code setting of the external device is TC: Drop frame; UB: 12 34 56 78.
