5 Set the day(s) by pressing the Vor vkey.

Mon-Fr:To operate at the same setting from Monday to Friday.

Everyday: To operate at the same setting everyday.

6 Set the time and the recording mode number by pressing the Vor vkey in the sequence then move to the next digit or item by pressing the bkey.

•Pressing !¢ of the numeric keys selects the item on the previous line, and pressing !￿selects the item on the next line.

•By specifying another set of time and recording mode in the right column, recording is continued after changing the recording mode at the time specified in the right column.

•If recording mode need not to be changed, delete the time by pressing the RESET key. When the time is deleted, “––––” is displayed.

•Time Mode is automatically calculated and displayed according to the selected recording mode.

•To stop recording at the specified time, set 0 in the REC column.

•When you set “A” in the REC column, alarm recording will start at the specified time. This alarm recording is performed in the mode set on the alarm set display (page 3-5).

7 Perform the same settings for each day of the week when required.

For the day which recording is not necessary, delete the day or time by pressing the RESET key.

8 When the settings are completed, press the SET key.

A message “NOW SAVING” is displayed and the settings are stored in nonvolatile memory.

Notes

•The time mode shown on the TIMER set display suggests the timing for changing the cassette tape next after starting recording at 0:00 AM on Monday. That is, if “TIME MODE=178HOURS” is shown, you may change the tape by 10:00 AM on the next Monday.

However, recording is not always started at 0:00 AM on Monday, so the time mode may not indicate the precise time. The difference will be large especially when the time mode value is small.

•If the calculated time mode exceeds 9999 hours, “ ****” is displayed.

•When “A” is set in the REC column, “ ****” is displayed for TIME MODE, as the time mode cannot be calculated.

•When ALARM REC is set to ON in NORMAL or INTERLEAVE mode on the recording function menu (page 3-6), alarm recording will be activated regardless of the timer recording setting.

However, alarm recording in FRAME, EVENT or PREALARM will be activated only when “0” or “A” is set in the REC column for timer recording.
