In a case where there could not be normally received in a time code reception operation in the last time, a second hand is normally moved by 1 second. In a case where there failed in a reception, after the second hand was normally moved till a 55-second position, the second hand is stopped at the 55-second position till a second time instant becomes 59 seconds.
