ENGLISH
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 OPERATIONS
To AC outlet
Timer Recording
1 Turn on the power to each component, then set
your tuner to the station you want to record.
2 Set 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
14, 15 and 17 for details regarding these operations.)
3 Turn down the volume on your amplifier/receiver.
This has no effect on the recording level.
4 Set 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.
5 Set TIMER to REC.
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
1 Turn on the amplifier/receiver and adjust the
volume and tone controls.
2 Set the input mode selector of your amplifier/
receiver to MD.
3 Set the timer to the times at which you want to
start and stop playback.
4 Set TIMER to 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
• Playback always starts from the beginning of the MD.
• 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.
