4Set the timer as required.

•When you have set the time for the start of recording, the deck turns off. When the specified time arrives, the deck turns on and after about 10 seconds starts recording.

•When you have set the time for the end of recording, the deck continues recording, then when the specified time arrives, the deck stops recording and turns off.

•When you have set the time for both the start and end of recording, the deck turns off. When the starting time arrives, the deck turns on and after about 10 seconds, recording starts. When the ending time arrives, the deck stops recording and turns off.

5After using the timer, set TIMER on the deck to OFF.

Notes

•If TIMER switch is left at the REC position, the deck will automatically start recording when you turn on the deck next time.

•During Timer Recording (i.e., when the TIMER switch is set to the REC position), Auto Rewind (see page 7) will not function even if the tape ends during recording. This is to prevent previously recorded material from being recorded over.
