1Do Steps 1 to 3 in “Playing an MD” on page 10.

2Press PLAY MODE repeatedly (or one of the PLAY MODE buttons once) to select the play mode you want.

To play only specific tracks, create a program (see page 23).

3If you want to specify the time for the end of playback, press fl(or ·) to start playback, then go to Step 4.

4Set TIMER on the deck to PLAY.

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.

Notes

•Be sure to quit the MD editor software before playing by using the timer function.

•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.
