	an external video clock.

<Note>: When "DIGI" (or "WORD") is selected but the unit does not receive a correct digital (or word) signal or does not lock to the reference signal, "DIGI" (or "WORD" quickly flashes. In such a case, check cable connection, etc.

<Note>: When the system clock is set to "DIGI" or "WORD", the FS of a file to be played back must match the FS setting of the unit. Otherwise, you cannot play back the file.

When the optional TC/SYNC card is not installed, by selecting "" and pressing the [ENTER/YES] key, you can select a desired LTC recording mode between "REC R" and "EXT" (the default is "REC R"). See the table below for details of these modes. You can also select the TC generator setting via the "Gen mode" menu item in the "TC SETUP" menu of the MENU mode (see page 80 and 128 respectively).

REC R	The first time you start recording, the generator stamps "01h00m00s00f" as the
	LTC start time at the beginning of the file, and records LTC jammed to this start
(Rec Run)	time code. The next time you start recording, LTC continued from the LTC on the
	previous file is recorded.
EXT	Every time you start recording, the generator stamps "01h00m00s00f" as the LTC
	start time at the beginning of the file, and records LTC jammed to this start time
(Ext Run)
	code. In other words, every file has LTC which starts from "01h00m00s00f".
