Getting Started

Setting the Clock

Once you set the MD deck’s internal clock, the MD deck will automatically record the date and time of all recordings. When playing a track, you can display the date and time the track was recorded (see page 21). Time on this deck is displayed on a 12-hour clock (USA and Canadian models only) or a 24-hour clock (European model only).
