Timecode Missing On My Cheap Deck

Hi folks,
I recorded some audio to minidv using a DVX. Now I'm trying to capture said audio and the timecode isn't showing up on my cheap consumer camera, thus not allowing me to log and capture like normal. I can set Final Cut to "non-controllable device" as a work-around and capture just fine, but it's kind of annoying because I have notes on the audio based on the timecode.
The DVX was set to F5 (24p) when shooting. I didn't (don't?) think it mattered, but I guess the question is: if shooting in 24p, will the timecode fail to show up when using a camera that doesn't know what 24p is?
I don't have easy access to the DVX again, but I'm curious to see if the timecode would show if I played the tape back through there.
At this point, I'm just going to have to capture without timecode, but I'm curious if any of you have opinions on this. Thanks!
