• If the running mode is set to [Free Run], the time code will start running from the selected time code the

moment you press SET.

Selecting Drop or Non-Drop Frame

depending on how you plan to use your recordings.
In the following cases, the time code is set to non-drop frame (NDF) and
cannot be changed.
- [w Other Functions] > [NTSC/PAL] is set to [PAL]
- [w Other Functions] > [24.00P] is set to [On]
- [w Other Functions] > [NTSC/PAL] is set to [NTSC] and the frame rate

is set to 23.98P

as [00:00:00.00]; when you select [NDF], it will appear as [00:00:00:00].

Putting the Time Code Display on Hold

If you set an assignable button to [Time Code Hold] (A 99), you can press the button to freeze the display of
the time code*. While the time code display is put on hold, [H] will appear on the screen next to the time code
and [HOLD] will appear on the rear panel.

The time code continues to run normally while the time code display is on hold. When you resume the time code
display, the current time code will be displayed.

superimposed on the video signal output from the other terminals will be put on hold.
