TC Chase
Use to turn playback synchronized with timecode ON or OFF
(default).
Set it to ON when you want to match the timing of this unit’s
audio with a timecode master device (audio recorder, video
or built-in timecode generator).
You can also set the timecode offset (TC Offset) to be used
with the timecode master device. Touch the EDIT button to
open the CHASE Offset screen where you can set the offset
value in a range between −23:59:59.29 and +23:59:59.29.
(Default: 00:00:00.00)
NOTE
TC Chase can also be turned ON and OFF by pressing the
SHIFT and CALL keys at the same time.
TC Rechase
When ON, this function re-synchronizes when synchroni-
zation with timecode becomes inaccurate during playback.
(Default: OFF)
When set to OFF, after synchronizing once, input timecode is
ignored and the unit operates in free run mode.
When set to ON, set the amount of inaccuracy that triggers
rechasing. To set the time, touch the knob, and adjust the
value using the DATA dial.
Select a value in frames of 1/3, 1, 2 (default), 5 or 10.
Master TC
Set whether the unit synchronizes with the built-in timecode
generator or with timecode input from another device.
Internal button: Synchronize with the built-in generator.
External button (default): Synchronize with timecode input
from another device.
