Selecting the generator mode [TC Gen.Mode]

The internal generator runs freely according to its own reference clock.
When you start recording a new audio file, the unit records the current internal generator
time as the start time.
When you start recording a new audio file, the unit records the time code value next to the
last time code value of the previous audio file as the start time.
If you start recording of the first audio file (i.e. if you start recording while <No File!> is
shown on the screen), the current LTC start time is recorded as the start time.
When you start recording a new audio file, the unit records the current FR-2 internal RTC
(real-time clock) time as the start time. (Note that this mode is not so accurate as the Free
Run mode.)
When you start recording a new audio file, the unit records the current incoming time code
value as the start time. To use this mode, external time code must be fed to the [TIME
CODE IN] connector.

Selecting the time code output source [TC Out]

Time code recorded on an audio file is output.
Time code generated by the internal TC generator is output.
