Set switches and submenu items as follows.
Submenu settings
In automatic editing, timecode is recorded by using the
output of the internal timecode generator, which has
been synchronized during preroll with playback
timecode read from the tape. For this reason,
regardless of the actual settings of the INT/EXT and
PRESET/REGEN switches, the unit operates as if the
switches were set to INT and REGEN.
See setup menu item 610 (page 6-15) if you do not wish to
have the INT/EXT and PRESET/REGEN settings fixed
during automatic editing.

2-6-4 Recording External Timecode without Regeneration
When this method is used, the internal timecode
generator is not affected by the external timecode. If
you want to record the playback timecode of an
external VTR, the method explained in section 2-6-2
“Synchronizing the Internal Timecode Generator with
an External Signal” is recommended.
Proceed as follows.
1
Connect the timecode output of an external
timecode generator to the TC IN connector when
LTC or AUTO is selected in the home page of the
submenu (see page 2-17).
2
Set switches as follows.
