— Time Machine recording
When recording from a radio broadcast, the first few seconds of material are often lost because of the time it takes you to ascertain the contents and press the buttons. To prevent this loss of material, the “Time Machine recording” feature constantly stores a maximum of 10 seconds of the most recent audio data in buffer memory. When you start recording a radio program, the recording actually starts with the 10 seconds of audio data stored in buffer memory in advance. You can also record without the prestored 10 seconds as well.
