Michael, I guess what I meant to say was, that indeed since the 1970 is a non-timecode deck then it would perhaps not be a good thing to run the 1970 with the Sony, because it was timecode capable. (Not because of the brandnames). I sometimes don't explain myself so very good. 🙂 BTW, Amilink controller does use timecode for its instructions but I think that it is counting pulses (with the 1970s only, I know that it can handle the larger timecode capable machines, it has a list a 1/2 mile long )just as you said…. I have a timecode generator (been using it for "time code window dubs"), that supposedly can lay down time code on one of the audio tracks, but cannot figure out what to do with the time code after it is there. Amilink says to always keep the AG1970 on pause, (with the tape on the heads) so as to be more frame accurate, and talks about pulses even when the controller does everything in HRS/MIN/SEC/FRAMES. Do you then use the 1970s as Players, with time code laid on one of the audio tracks, and then use the Sony as a recorder, with its time code track seperate from the audio tracks? Am I confused? >>>YES, I AM<<< !:') Thanks for your time…… Hal Toastin' up some slices, while zortchin' down the Digital Dirt Road o/~ Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come o/~
