	and make recording, the unit records time code which continues from the last time code
	value of the most recent audio file on the disk previously set.
Ext Run	When recording, the unit records the incoming external time code.
	If the unit does not receive external time code, the unit always records the Default LTC
	start time at the beginning of the file.
Free Run	When recording, the unit records time code generated by the internal generator which runs
	freely.
24H Run	When recording, the unit records time code based on the current internal RTC (real-time
	clock) time.
