<Note>
When the frame rate is set to 24 frames/sec. (23.98
Hz), this unit will perform the processing in the non-
drop frame mode in order to maintain the continuity of
the frames even when the time code has been set to
the drop frame mode. Furthermore, when the frame
rate has been set to 24 frames/sec. (23.98 Hz), it will
not be possible to set the time code while recording is
in progress since the images will be disturbed if the
advancing of the time code is discontinuous.
