TIMER OPERATIONS

With a commercially available audio timer it is possible to make recordings and initiate playback automatically at any time. Make sure that all power cord connections between the timer and amplifier/receiver are properly made.

For details, refer to the instructions of your audio timer. No change in any of the other connections between the recorder and amplifier/receiver, etc., is necessary.

Timer Recording

1Turn on the power to each component, then set your tuner to the station you want to record.

2Set this unit’s recording options.

Select digital or analog inputs, auto or manual marking, and stereo or mono recording. When recording analog signals, be sure to set the recording level. (See pages 13, 14 and 16 for details regarding these operations.)

3Turn down the volume on your amplifier/receiver.

This has no effect on the recording level.

4Set the timer to the times at which you want to

start and stop recording.

We recommend setting the timer to start a few minutes before and stop a few minutes after the actual broadcast to leave some room for later editing.

5Set TIMER to REC.

TIMER

OFF

REC PLAY

When the preset time arrives, the timer turns on the components (amplifier/receiver, tuner and MD recorder) and the MD recorder starts to record. When the stop time arrives, the timer stops the recording by turning off the components.

Notes

•When recording to a blank MD, recording starts from the beginning. When recording to a previously recorded MD, recording starts from the end of the last track.

•Set TIMER to OFF when not using the timer recording function. If the power is turned on (by pressing POWER, plugging in the power cord, etc.) when TIMER is set to REC, the MD recorder will start recording automatically.

Timer Playback

1Turn on the amplifier/receiver and adjust the volume and tone controls.

2Set the input mode selector of your amplifier/ receiver to MD.

3Set the timer to the times at which you want to start and stop playback.

4Set TIMER to PLAY.

TIMER

OFF

REC PLAY

When the preset time arrives, the timer turns on the components (amplifier/receiver and MD recorder) and the MD recorder starts to play. When the stop time arrives, the timer stops the playback by turning off the components.

Notes

•Set TIMER to OFF when not using the timer play function. If the power is turned on (by pressing POWER, plugging in the power cord, etc.) when TIMER is set to PLAY, the MD recorder will start to play and may cause a sudden output at high volume.
