F1	SOURCE	INT:	Built-in time code generator.
	For selecting	EXT LTC:	LTC time code from TIME CODE input connector.

		S VTC:	VTC time code added to serial signals; not
			displayed when the SD mode is selected.
		EXT VITC: VITC time code added to video signals; not

	slave lock mode.	AUTO:	Generator locks at the value read out by the
			reader. In this case there is no time code setting.
			(Only during editing.) During normal recording,
			however, any setting of the generator can be
			performed.
		PRESET: Generator does not lock at the value read out by
			the reader. Generator can be set freely.
		SLAVE:	The generator is locked to the reader’s readout
			value. In this case, the time code cannot be set.
		≥When the F1 (SOURCE) key is at [TEXT LTC], SALVE and
		DIRECT are displayed.
		SLAVE: Generator locks to external LTC time code.
			(When there is no external input, E-TC time data
