11 Selecting the generator mode [TC Gen.Mode] The [TC Gen.Mode] menu item selects the generator mode for time code recording. By default, Free (Free Run) is selected. Selecting the time code output source [TC Out] The TC Out menu item selects the time code output source of the [TIME CODE OUT] connector. You can select between Repro and GEN (Generator). (The default is Repro.)Use the [MENU] dial to select a desired mode and press the [ENTER] key to confirm your selec- tion. The following shows the available generator modes and their functions. Free (Free Run)The internal generator runs freely according to its own reference clock. When you start recording a new audio file, the unit records the current internal generator time as the start time. Rec (Rec Run)When you start recording a new audio file, the unit records the time code value next to the last time code value of the previous audio file as the start time. If you start recording of the first audio file (i.e. if you start recording while is shown on the screen), the current LTC start time is recorded as the start time. 24H (24H Run) EXT (Ext Run)When you start recording a new audio file, the unit records the current incoming time code value as the start time. To use this mode, external time code must be fed to the [TIME CODE IN] connector. When you start recording a new audio file, the unit records the current FR-2 internal RTC (real-time clock) time as the start time. (Note that this mode is not so accurate as the Free Run mode.) Use the [MENU] dial to select the desired option and press the [ENTER] key to confirm your selection. You can select between Repro and GEN (Generator). Repro GEN (Generator)Time code recorded on an audio file is output. Time code generated by the internal TC generator is output. After bringing up the first page of the TC Setup menu, use the [MENU] dial to select TC Gen.Mode and press the [ENTER] key. The currently selected mode flashes (by default, Free flashes) and you can now select the desired mode. After bringing up the first page of the TC Setup menu, use the [MENU] dial to select TC Out and press the [ENTER] key. The currently selected option flashes (by default, Repro flashes) and you can now select the desired option.
12 Viewing and editing time code of the internal TC generator [Set Gen.TC] The [Set Gen.TC] menu item allows you to view the internal TC generator time code value, as well as edit the time code value to a desired value while the generator mode is set to Free Run or Rec Run.(While the generator mode is set to 24H or EXT, you can only view time code.) The internal generator time code runs in realtime. --h--m--s--f is shown. This means, when recording starts, the next time code value to the time code value at the end of the previously recorded audio file is recorded as the start time. The time code based on the realtime clock runs in realtime. The incoming external time code is shown. : If no external time code is fed, is shown. ¥ While the generator mode is set to Free (Free Run): ¥ While the generator mode is set to Rec (Rec Run): ¥ While the generator mode is set to 24H (24H Run): ¥ While the generator mode is set to EXT (External Run): After bringing up the first page of the TC Setup menu, use the [MENU] dial to select Set Gen.TC and press the [ENTER] key. The current time code (internal generator time code or external time code) is shown. The viewing screen looks different depending on the current generator mode, as shown below. (While the generator mode is set to Free Run or Rec Run, you can not only view the time code value but also edit it.)
13 ¥ Editing to a desired time code value: While Edit> is selected by using the [MENU] dial, pressing the [ENTER] key immediately hold the current time code value and the h field starts flashing. You can edit the flashing field using the [MENU] dial. After editing the field, pressing the [EN- TER] key moves the flashing field to the right. You can also move the flashing field to the right by using the [>>|] key. You can edit a field value from left to right (h -> m -> s -> f). When you move the flashing field after editing the value of the current field, all lower fields of the edited field are reset to 00. After editing all fields, pressing the [ENTER] key sets the edited time value and Edit > starts flashing again. The edited time value is reflected to the LTC start time of the next audio file. To exit the MENU mode, select
14 Setting the time code value for REC RUN In the Rec Run mode, when you start recording a new audio file, the unit jams the last time code value of the previous audio file. So time code continues through all successive audio files. The following describes how to edit the last time code value of the previous audio file. The edited time value is reflected from the next recording. ¥ Editing the time code value By using the [MENU] dial to select Edit > and pressing the [ENTER] key, the display shows the screen for editing the last time code value of the previous audio file. ¥ Restoring the edited time value to the original value By using the [MENU] dial to select Delete > and pressing the [ENTER] key, the edited time code value is cancelled and the next time you start recording a new audio file, the unit jams the last time code value of the previous audio file. You can edit the flashing field using the [MENU] dial. After editing the field, pressing the [EN- TER] key moves the flashing field to the right. You can also move the flashing field to the right by using the [>>|] key. You can edit a field value from left to right (h -> m -> s -> f). After editing all fields, pressing the [ENTER] key confirms the time value editing and Edit > starts flashing again. To exit the MENU mode, select
15 Setting the generator Ubit mode and user data [Set Gen.Ubit] The Set Gen.Ubit menu item sets the generator TC Ubit mode and user data. ¥ TC Ubit mode setting Use the [MENU] dial to select Ubit mode and press the [ENTER] key. The current Ubit mode starts flashing and you can now select the Ubit mode (by default, uuuuuuuu flashes). You can select the desired Ubit mode from among the following modes. Use the [MENU] key to select a desired mode and press the [ENTER] to confirm your selection. uuuuuuuu MMDDYYuuThe default is 00 00 00 00. BG_76: MM (month) / BG_54: DD (day) / BG_32: YY (year) /BG_10: uu (for USA) DDMMYYuu BG_76: DD (day) / BG_54: MM (month) / BG_32: YY (year) /BG_10: uu (for EUR) When selecting MMDDYYuu or DDMMYYuu, you can set the desired user bit to uu of BG_10: uu. The other fields are automatically set according to the realtime clock data. ¥ User data editing By using the [MENU] dial to select Edit User > and pressing the [ENTER] key, the rightmost field of the current user bit (by default, 00) starts flashing and you can now start editing. You can enter the desired value to the flashing field using the [MENU] dial. You can move the flashing field using the [SKIP/CURSOR] key. The edited value is reflected to Ubit: [00 00 00 00] in realtime. After editing, press the [ENTER/YES] key to confirm your setting. You can also move the flashing field to the right by using the [>>|] key. You can edit a field value from left to right (h -> m -> s -> f). The value entered to the rightmost field is reflected to the leftmost two digits of a userbit. After completing the user data editing, pressing the [ENTER] key confirms the user data and the display changes to show the screen where Edit User > flashes. To exit the MENU mode, select
16 Selecting the userbit of output TC [TC Ubit] While the TC Out menu item is set to Repro, the TC Ubit] menu item selects the userbit of time code fed from the [TIME CODE OUT] connector. Selecting on/off of TC output while paused [Pause TC] The Pause TC menu item selects whether time code is output from the [TIME CODE OUT] connector or not while the FR-2 is stopped or paused. By default, time code is not output while the FR-2 is stopped or paused. Use the [MENU] dial to select Off or On and press the [ENTER] key to confirm the selection. Off (default) OnWhen the transport is stopped or paused, no time code is output. When the TC Out menu item is set to Repro and the transport is stopped or paused, the time code value at the current position is output. Use the [MENU] dial to select a desired userbit and press the [ENTER] key to confirm the selec- tion. You can select from among the following. The selected userbit information is output from the [TIME CODE OUT] connector. BwfUbit (default)Outputs the value set by Set Gen.TC.
