You can record time code generated by the internal time code generator together with audio
simultaneously.
This section describes settings and operations for time code recording. See "Chapter 4: Audio re-
cording/playback" for details about settings and operations for audio recording.
The following description assumes that one of the [AUDIO RDY] key indicators ([NEW FILE] or
[INSERT]) is lit.

Time code starts from the current time of the internal clock of the unit.
When recording time code to a new file, the generator records time code from the value
which continues to the last time code value of the previous audio file.
Runs the internal generator by the free run mode, and records the current internal generator
time as the start time.
The external time code value is recorded as the start time.
3. Press the [TC RDY] key to arm the time code track.
The TC RDY indicator is lit while "TC RDY" is shown on the display.
4. After pressing the [SHIFT] key to make the SHIFT mode active, press the [CHASE/(TC SETUP)] key to
enter the TC SETUP mode, then preset the internal time code generator time if necessary.
See page 5-6 for details about how to preset the internal time code generator time.
<Note>
Unlike time code striped on an audio or video tape, time code on a disk is not striped from the
beginning to the end. Only the offset between the ABS time and time code at the recording
start point is recorded.
Therefore, if you record a discontinuous time code value in the middle, the unit cannot recog-
nize it. Also, the user bit when time code starts recording is valid throughout the time code, so
the unit cannot handle the user bit that changes in the middle.
1. Set the [FRAME RATE] switch appropriately according to time code to be recorded.
2. Set the [TC GEN MODE] switch appropriately according to the situation.
