Tip

The MD is automatically labeled with the Station Name (or frequency if the station is not labeled), the start time and the stop time of the recording (see page 55).

Notes

•If you select “MDALL” in step 9 to record a long program and the MD in the MD 1 slot becomes full, the rest of the program is automatically recorded on the MD in the next slot. If no other MDs are inserted, insert another recordable MD in the next slot and remove the MD you do not want to record on beforehand. The program will not be recorded while the MDs are being exchanged.

•Do not operate the system from the time the power turns on until the recording starts (about 30 seconds).

•If the start time and stop time are the same, the cursor goes back to the stop time. Change the stop time.

•When you record on a blank MD, the first 30 seconds are not recorded.

•If the power is on at 30 seconds before the preset time, the recording will not be made.

•The volume is reduced to minimum during recording.
