  So if I make the adjustment as proposed by Freddie, shouldn't the "Timecode Format" also be adjusted to "29.97 FPS ndf"?
 

I think that is just where his screen capture was when he copied it.
Set it to where you need it
Example below
30 is the norm for mulititrack audio studios.
29.97 when syncing with NTSC video.
25 for PAL and SECAM 
30 for ATSC video(north america)
24 for film
 
The important part is for all synced devices to be the same.
 
 

Yes you are correct. Sorry for any confusions.  
 
I use 30 FPS Non Drop for any AUDIO work.  Otherwise it's "TV-PAL" 25FPS that supposed to be the standard in Europe, but most still use 30 frames for audio.

○ 23.976 frames per second (FPS). Typically used with H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video.
 
○ 24 frames per second (FPS). Used for theatrical film worldwide. Any film in North America or Japan uses this setting.
 
○ 25 FPS. Used for PAL/SECAM video and some film in countries that use 50 Hz wall electricity. This is the setting to use when synchronizing to any European video format.
 
○ 29.97 FPS Drop. NTSC broadcast and long format video in North America and Japan. This setting synchronizes the video perfectly with SONAR, but the sequencer position displayed in the Now Time and Big Time displays will gradually drift and become incorrect over long periods of time. The audio and MIDI synchronization to the external device will not be affected by this discrepancy.
 
○ 29.97 FPS Non Drop. NTSC non-broadcast and short length video in North America and Japan. Used for some music projects. This setting synchronizes the video perfectly with SONAR, but the sequencer position displayed in the Now Time and Big Time displays will gradually drift and become incorrect over long periods of time. The audio and MIDI synchronization to the external device will not be affected by this discrepancy.
 
 
○ 30 FPS Drop. Not a standard type of timecode, used rarely for speed correction and transfer problems in tape based systems.
 
○ 30 FPS Non Drop. Most music projects and some film in North America. This is the best choice for any music project and should be used unless the situation dictates otherwise.

commonly used in 3:2 pulldown 23.976 HD video formats (why there is lip-sync problems in some videos)

On the same table is the clock setting. I'm not syncing to anything external right now - AUDIO is listed as my clock selection in preferences. Is this correct or should it be INTERNAL that is checked?

Audio is perfect , especially if you are using a good external card

Very informative. Thanks to Freddie and stonehedge for the details. Bookmarked!
