Parts and Their Functions
1
TCG selector switch
This is used to set the advancing mode of the built-
in time code generator.
F-RUN: This position is used to advance the time
code continuously regardless of the unit’s
operation.
Set the switch here when aligning the time
code with the actual time or locking the
time code with an external signal.
SET: Set the switch to this position when the
time code or user’s bit is to be set.
R-RUN: Set the switch to this position to advance
the time code only during recording. The
time code will then be recorded
continuously onto the tape where
continuity has been ensured between the
frames.
