Setting Timecode
Use this method to synchronize multiple VTRs with an
external timecode generator, and when you want to
record the playback timecode signals of an external
VTR without deterioration in the signal waveform.
You can synchronize the internal timecode generator
with either of the following kinds of external timecode.
• The output of an external timecode generator, or the
timecode output (LTC) of an external VTR.
• The timecode (VITC) in an input video signal.
Proceed as follows.
1
To synchronize with external timecode output
(LTC): Connect the output of an external timecode
generator or the timecode output of an external
VTR to the TC IN connector.
To synchronize with the timecode (VITC) of an
input video signal: On the home page of the
submenu, select the input signal containing the
VITC.
2
Set switches and submenu items as follows.

Desired position (ON when
recording VITC)
VITC/LTC/AUTO
(home page)
VITC or LTC, depending on which
signal you want to synchronize with
(LTC when set to AUTO)

No setting required (ignored)
Submenu settings
The internal timecode generator begins to run in
synchronization with the external signal. Once external
synchronization is achieved, the internal timecode
generator continues to run even if you disconnect the
external timecode generator.
