You can record time code together with audio while synchronizing the unit to external time
code generated by an external generator or striped on a video/audio tape, etc.
This section describes settings and operations for time code recording. See "Chapter 4: Audio
recording/playback" for details about settings and operations for audio recording.
The following description assumes that one of the [AUDIO RDY] key indicators ([NEW FILE] or
[INSERT]) is lit.
Recording external time code
Connection to external devices/Settings of the DV40
• Connection to external devices
1. Connect the [ANALOG IN] (or [DIGITAL IN]) connectors to the audio outputs of a VCR.
2. Connect the [TIME CODE IN] connector to the time code output of a VCR.
3. If the video reference is available, connect it to the video inputs of both a VCR and the DV40.
• Front panel switch settings
1. Set the [FRAME RATE] switch appropriately to match the external time code.
2. Set the [TC GEN MODE] switch appropriately for recording the external time code.
3. If the video reference is available, set the [CLOCK] switch to "VIDEO".
If you record time code by synchronizing the unit to digital clock from a VCR, set the switch to
"DIGITAL".
4. Press the [TC RDY] key to arm the time code track.
The TC RDY indicator is lit while "TC RDY" is shown on the display.
5. After pressing the [SHIFT] key to make the SHIFT mode active, press the [CHASE/(TC SETUP)] key to
enter the TC SETUP mode, then make the necessary settings for recording time code.
See 5-5 and subsequent pages for details about the TC Setup mode.
