•R E M A I N —the total time remaining on the disc for further recording (the length of the blank portion of the disc)

•TOTA L —the total elapsed time from the start of the disc

•TOTAL REMAIN —the total time remaining on the disc for further recording (the same as REMAIN )

If the MEMO IN/CAPS indicator [23] is lit, the unit is in play or play ready mode, and the TIME key is pressed, the lower (alphanumeric dot-matrix) part of the display may be used to give timing information. This is represented as follows:

•elp—the time elapsed from the start of the cur- rent track

•rem—the playback time remaining in the current track

•tel—the total elapsed time from the start of the disc

•tre—the total time remaining on the disc

•rel—the time relative to a user-settable “zero point” (see 4.2.8, "Relative time display")

RWhen the unit is in record or record ready mode, and the MEMO IN/CAP indicator [23] is lit, and the TIME key is pressed, the lower (alphanumeric dot- matrix) part of the display may be used to give tim- ing information. This is representated as follows:

•elp—the time elapsed from the start of the track currently being recorded

•rem—the total time remaining on the disc for further recording (the length of the blank portion of the disc)

•tel—the total elapsed time from the start of the disc

•tre—the total time remaining on the disc for further recording (the same as rem)

•rel—the time relative to a user-settable “zero point” (see 4.2.8, "Relative time display")

It is therefore possible to have two separate time indi- cators shown simultaneously. Note that if both the upper and lower parts of the display are set to the same time indication, there may be occasions where the two values shown do not always match exactly.

To turn off the time display in the lower part of the display, press the TIME key until the disc or track title is shown, rather than the time display.

In the play and play ready, as well as the record and record ready modes, the TIME key can also be used

2 - Front panel

to display the following:

•aay bbm ccd—where aa is the year, bb is the month, and cc is the day of the date according to the MD-801’s internal clock.

•eeh ffm ggs—where ee is the hour (in 24-hour format), ff the minutes and gg the sec- onds of the time of day according to the MD-801’s internal clock.

If the internal clock needs to be adjusted, follow the procedure described in 4.2.18, "Setting the time and date".
