Options in the tool bar below the main menu and, on the left, select Project Options - Timecode.

...playback synchronization may not meet the requirements of older projects. In such a case you need to proceed as follows:

Start timecode at a time before the beginning of the presentation or Locator position, respectively. As soon as the timecode reaches the Locator position, playback will start and the Locator will be taken along by timecode, so to say. If you proceed in this order, playback will be in perfect synchrony from the very beginning. Keep in mind that the Locator will never move to a lower time value but will start moving only when it is in accordance with the timecode.
Of course, you can also start right in the middle of a presentation. If the applied timecode signal has a higher time value than the Locator, playback will be asynchronous to start with and it will take some time for synchrony to be achieved. The time this takes depends on the synchronization offset at playback start and on the video properties. Large video images and a long key frame interval will take longer until playback is in sync.

At Forward and Backward you define the time lag between Locator and timecode that must be exceeded before synchronization is carried out by jumping. As long as the Locator remains within this time lag, Wings Vioso RX synchronizes by pitching shifting.

At Preroll you enter the period of time that is added when jumping to incoming timecode. E.g. when a timecode of 3:00 minutes is applied, the Locator jumps to 3:05 minutes, where the presentation data are loaded, and starts when a timecode of 3:05 minutes is applied. By entering the correct Preroll time you make sure that synchronization is started accurately without hiccups.

Please bear in mind that syncing by pitch shifting takes longer for presentations that include HD videos with a longer keyframe interval, e.g. WMV, H264. For synced playback the computer must never be close to its performance limit.
