The reference time code currently selected starts flashing (the default reference time code setting when the Model 8346 is installed is "LTC"). The outlined box surrounds the flashing item on the display. Additional features By installing the Model 8346 into the recorder, the following SETUP menus and GEN setup function are added. These SETUP menus are used when the recorder is synchronized to an external LTC or locked to a video signal.

Recording mode Function Time code that is continuous with the time code previously recorded will be recorded. Time code generated by the internal generator will be recorded from the current time of the recorder's internal clock.

It records only the ABS time at the recording start point and the time code offset value. Therefore, if you record discontinuous time code in the middle, it cannot recognize it. Also note that because the user's bit at the recording start point is maintained, the 8346 cannot recognize user's bit change in the middle.

Therefore, if you use the same LTC with the new program, you do not need to re-record LTC. 7 APPENDIX (Operation manual for the recorder with the Model 8346 TC/SYNC card installed) <How to record time code> After setting the time code recording mode described above, record time code by the following procedure. Press the [EDIT] key while holding down the [SHIFT] key to turn TC READY on (the TC READY indicator will flash). Press the [PLAY] button while holding down the [RECORD] button (the TC READY indicator will light). Unlike audio signal recording, you do not need to arm a track for time code. Also note that recording time code does not consume the hard disk space. To erase all the time code information, see "Erasing the recorded time code" described later.

Selecting the output time code When the time code recording mode (described above) is set to "Free Run" or "24H Run", the 8346 can output the internal generator time code or recorded time code. Note that it does not output time code when the time code recording mode is set to "Rec Run" or "Ext Run". Editing the internal generator time code Editing the internal generator time code can be done only when the time code recording mode (described above) is set to "Free Run". <CAUTION> · While time code is output, the recorder's vari pitch and word sync functions are prohibited. Note that the time code output setting is available only when an "Async" mode ("adat: Async" or "SPDIF: Async") is selected in the "D. · The "TC Out Sel?" setting returns to the default "Repro" when turning the power off. 1.

Connect a video editor to the recorder's REMOTE IN (RS-422) terminal, as well as connect a video sync signal to the recorder, video editor and VTR as the reference signal. With this connection example, you can edit audio for video by controlling the VTR and recorder from the video editor.
