Set the following on the function menu:
TCG on the P4 TC page: INT
PRST/RGN on the P4 TC page: LTC or VITC

In automatic editing, timecodes are recorded by using the 
output of the internal timecode generator, which has been 
synchronized during preroll with playback timecode read 
from the tape. For this reason, regardless of the actual 
settings of TCG and PRST/RGN on the P4 TC page, the 
unit operates as if then were set to INT and LTC or VITC.
If you do not wish to have TCG and PRST/RGN settings 
fixed during automatic editing, you can set then with setup 
menu item 610.

For details on setup menu item 610, see page 71.

If you set TCG on the P4 TC page to EXT or SDI and 
PRST/RGN to PRESET, PRST/RGN is forced to function 
as LTC.

When a tape recorded in 24-frame mode is played back in 
25-frame mode (off-speed playback), the timecodes for 24-
frame mode can be converted to those for 25-frame mode. 
It is also possible to have the timecodes recorded in 25-
frame mode converted to those for 24-frame mode during 
playback. To have the timecodes converted, set setup item 
menut 620 to ON.

For details on setup menu item 620, see page 71.

While the timecodes are being converted, the timecode 
generator generates timecodes based on the frame 
frequency recorded on the tape, which makes a difference 
in the timecodes generated in FREE RUN of about 4%.
