2.5.3 Using the timer
When the start time has been set, slide the TIMER
switch
C
to either the PLAY or REC position,
depending on whether playback or recording is to
start at the specified time.
The display shows a small clock icon to show the
unit is in timer mode, in standby mode as well as in
power-on mode. When the switch is set to
REC , and
a recordable disc is loaded, the REC indicator shows
beside the clock icon.
When the unit is in standby mode and timer playback
is selected, the unit will turn on and start playing at
the specified time.
If recording is selected, the unit will turn itself on
one minute before recording is due to start. Record-
ing will start at the specified time at the first free
location on the disc.
If the off time is set to a time greater than the length
of the disc, and playback is selected, the unit will
start playing at the start of the disc, and continue to
the end.
If timer recording is selected, and the off time is set
to a time which is greater than the remaining time on
the disc, the unit will continue recording until there is
no space left on the disc.
If the timer is set, and the unit is switched on at the
timer start time, the timer operation will have no
effect.
If the unit has been disconnected from the power
supply so that the clock time has been lost, and the
timer switch is set, the clock icon will flash rapidly in
standby mode as an indication that the current timer
setting is invalid.
NOTE
If the unit has recognized the current disc as non-
recordable,
Timer Error! appears when
the timer switch is set to REC. If the timer is set with
the switch at OFF or PLAY and a non-recordable disc
loaded, the unit is then placed in standby, and the
switch then set to the REC position, this error mes-
sage will not appear (of course, recording will not
take place under these conditions).
