Notes

When you set STANDBY a and STANDBY b, and the preset standby time arrives while the other standby function (timer recording) is operating, the most recent standby function will have priority over the other and record the appropriate broadcast.

Once you preset the desired standby time, the radio operates at the preset time everyday.

When the preset standby time arrives while the radio or cassette is operated, the standby function will have priority over the current operation and record the appropriate broadcast automatically.
