Playing an MD Using a Timer
By connecting a timer (not supplied) to the deck, you
can start and stop playback operations at specified
times. For further information on connecting the timer
or setting the starting and ending times, refer to the
instructions that came with the timer.
5 Set the timer as required.
• When you have set the time for the start of
playback, the deck turns off. When the
specified time arrives, the deck turns on and
starts playing.
• When you have set the time for the end of
playback, playback continues. When the
specified time arrives, the deck stops playing
and turns off.
• When you have set the time for both the start
and end of playback, the deck turns off. When
the starting time arrives, the deck turns on and
starts playing. When the ending time arrives,
the deck stops playing and turns off.
6 After you have finished using the timer, set
TIMER on the deck to OFF.

Note
You can select Program Play in Step 2. Note, however, that
programs eventually fade away when the standby status is
off, and therefore if you set the time too far in the future, the
program may be gone when the specified time arrives. If
this has occurred, the deck enters normal play mode at the
specified time and the tracks play in consecutive order.
1 Do Steps 1 to 3 in "Playing an MD" on page 8.
2 Press PLAY MODE repeatedly (or one of the
PLAY MODE buttons once) to select'the play
mode you want.
To play only specific tracks, create a program (see
page 21).
3 • If you want to specify the time for the start of
playback, go-to Step 4.
• If you want to specify the time for the end of
playback, press MB (or O) to start playback,
then go to Step 4.
• If you want to specify the time for both start
and end of playback, go to Step 4.
4 Set TIMER on the deck to PLAY.
