5Set the timer as required.

When you have set the time for the start of playback, the deck turns off. When the specified time arrives, the deck turns on and starts playing.

When you have set the time for the end of playback, playback continues. When the specified time arrives, the deck stops playing and turns off.

When you have set the time for both the start and end of playback, the deck turns off. When the starting time arrives, the deck turns on and starts playing. When the ending time arrives, the deck stops playing and turns off.

6After you have finished using the timer, set TIMER on the deck to OFF.

Note

You can select Program Play in Step 2. Note, however, that programs eventually fade away when the standby status is off, and therefore if you set the time too far in the future, the program may be gone when the specified time arrives. If this has occurred, the deck enters normal play mode at the specified time and the tracks play in consecutive order.

Editing Recorded MDs

Notes on Editing

You can edit the recorded tracks after recording, using the following functions:

Erase Function allows you to erase recorded tracks simply by specifying the corresponding track number.

Divide Function allows you to divide tracks at specified points so that you can quickly locate those points afterwards, using the AMS function.

Combine Function allows you to combine two consecutive tracks into one.

Move Function allows you to change the order of tracks by moving a specific track to a track position you want.

Title Function allows you to create titles for your recorded MDs and tracks.

If “Protected” appears in the display

The deck could not edit because the record-protect slot on the MD is open. Edit after closing the slot.

When “TOC” flashes in the display

Do not move the deck or pull out the AC power cord. After editing, “TOC” lights continuously until you eject the MD or turn off the power. “TOC” flashes while the deck is updating the TOC. When the deck finishes updating the TOC, “TOC”goes off.
