I'm already following your advice to another HD-p2 user:
troubleshooting 101
which "it" ??
the TC source, or the HD-P2..??
is the camcorder it actually sending SMPTE TC ?? Is the HD-P2 actually receiving it ?? is it even expecting it ??
tried any alternate devices??
come on... read your posts... it reads like you are just sitting there, expecting it to all work "Plug'n Play"...troubleshoot, and keep trying...
I'll get there. The fact that the unit isn't actually made by Tascam complicates things a bit when looking for 'official' info.
Presently I'm here:
Settings: 48K 24b ST LTC
Timecode: 23.976 FW 10F Auto
Green timecode light is solid, unplug the SB2a it blinks. (started sb2a cold without setting time, HD-p2 display matches it excluding frame rate which lags 3-4 frames when I snap a picture of it) SB2a is set to position 4 #23 shows when you close the slate.
