RECORDING FROM AN EXTERNAL COMPONENT ONTO THE HDD

■Using an external timer to record

Notes on recording time setting

•This unit is not equipped with the clock function. Use an external timer when making a timer recording.

•It may take 30 seconds to 1 minute after the power of this unit is turned on by an external timer until an actual recording starts. (This length of time is subject to change depending on the condition.) During this time, no recording is made. Therefore set the time that is 2-minute earlier than the starting time of the program to be recorded for turning on this unit.

•As a characteristic of an HDD recorder, it is necessary to store information to control audio data as well as audio data itself. This informa- tion is normally recorded when recording is stopped. Therefore if the power of this unit is turned off before recording is stopped, no information to control audio data and no audio data are stored. Set the time that is longer than 3-minute after the program to be recorded finishes for turning off this unit by an external timer.

•Set the time that is 2-minute longer than actual recording time for the total recording time.
