When REF is selected for the sync signal
If an external reference video signal is not being input, the 
unit does not synchronize with an external sync signal. The 
servo reference signal synchronizes with the output of the 
reference video signal generator.
3-6  Setting Timecode
There are three ways to record timecodes. You can select 
the recording method with TCG (INT/EXT/SDI) and 
PRST/RGN (PRESET/LTC/VITC) on the P4 TC page of 
the function menu.
Settings for RUN (REC/FREE) and DF (DF/NDF) on the 
P4 TC page of the function menu are required in addition 
to the settings for TCG and PRST/RGN.
For details on settings on the function menu, see “3-7 
Basic Operations of the Function Menu” on page 29.
3-6-1  Setting an Initial Value and 
Recording Timecode
For setting the timecode, set TCG on the P4 TC page of the 
function menu to INT and PRST/RGN to PRESET.
