1 Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.

2 Set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to PRESET.

3 Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to SET.

The first (leftmost) digit of timecode flashes.

4 Use the up and down arrow buttons to change values, and use the left and right arrow buttons to move the flashing digit. Repeat until all digits are set.

To reset the timecode value to 00 00 00 00

Press the RESET/RETURN button.

5 Set the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch to F-RUN or R-RUN.

F-RUN:Free run. The timecode generator keeps running.

R-RUN:Recording run. The timecode generator runs only while recording.

To set the drop frame mode/non-drop frame mode

You can select the drop frame (DF) mode or non- drop frame (NDF) mode on the TIMECODE page of the MAINTENANCE menu.

To make the timecode consecutive

When the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set to R-RUN, recording a number of scenes on the disc normally produces consecutive timecode. However, once you remove the disc and record on another disc, the timecode will no longer be consecutive when you use the original disc again for recording. In this case, to make the timecode consecutive, set the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to REGEN.

Saving the real Time in the Timecode

Setting the PRESET/REGEN/CLOCK switch to CLOCK saves the real time in the timecode. When it is necessary to set the actual time, use the TIME/DATE page of the DIAGNOSIS menu.

For details, see “Setting the Date/Time of the Internal Clock” on page 41.

Setting the user bits

By setting the user bits (up to 8 hexadecimal digits), you can record user information such as the date, time, or scene number on the timecode track.
