FREE	: The preset mode is selected, and the time
	code run mode becomes the FREE run mode.
	Set to this position to record with the time
	code or user’s bits set anew (preset). In this
	setting, the time code always operates in the

	scenes one after another, the time codes
	become discontinuous at the transition
	points between scenes.
REC	: The preset mode is selected, and the time
	code run mode becomes the REC run mode.
	Set to this position to record with the time
	code or user’s bits set anew (preset). The
	time code operates in the run mode during
	recording only. If this setting is used when
	recording scenes one after another, the time
	codes are recorded as continuous time codes.
REGEN	: Regeneration mode, in which the unit reads
	existing time codes on the tape and records
	time codes in continuation of the existing
	ones. Set to this position when you want to
