Using a Timer for Future Recording
If you're using your MJ-D508 with an audio timer (see page 26 for how to connect this up), you can set it to record at a
preset time and date, making it useful for recording a radio or satellite program when you're away, for example.

Switch on the MJ-D508.
Set the timer switch to REC.
Prepare for recording.
Load a recordable MD, select the correct input, set recording levels/
volume as appropriate, set for mono or stereo recording, etc.
Set the timer.
After you've made the setting, the timer shuts off power to the compo­
nents connected to it.
❖ It takes about a minute from when the timer switches everything on
to when the recorder actually starts recording, so bear this in mind
when setting the timer.
Make sure the recorder writes the disc's UTOC
within a week of timer recording.
The UTOC is not written until you eject the disc or do a UTOC write (see
page 41). Until then, the UTOC information is stored in the recorder's
memory. This is fine for at least a week, but may be lost after that.
Generally, switch on the recorder and eject the disc or use the UTOC
write command as soon as possible after timer recording.
