Starting Recording With
6 Seconds of Prestored Audio
Data (Time Machine Recording)
when recording from an FM or satellite broadcast, the
first few seconds of material are often lost due to the
time it takes you to ascertain the contents and press the
record button. To prevent the loss of this material, the
Time Machine Recording Function constantly stores
6 seconds of the most recent audio data in a buffer
memory so that when you begin recording the
program source using this function, the recording
actually begins with the 6 seconds of audio data stored
in the buffer memory in advance as shown in the
illustration below.
