After you have finished using the timer, set TIMER
on the deck to OFF. Then change the deck to
standby mode by plugging the AC power cord of
the deck into a wall outlet or set the timer to
continuous operation.
• If TIMER is left at REC, the deck will automatically
start recording the next time you turn on the deck.
• If you do not change the deck to standby mode for
more than a week after timer recording has finished,
the recorded contents may disappear.
Make sure to change the deck to standby mode
within a week after timer recording is
completed.
The TOC on the MD is updated and recorded contents are
written to the MD when you turn on the deck. If the
recorded contents have disappeared, “Initialize” flashes
when you turn on the deck.
Notes
• It may take about 30 seconds after the deck is turned on until
recording starts. When recording at a specified time using the
timer, be sure to take this time into account when setting the
recording start time.
• During timer recording, new material is recorded from the end
of the recorded portion on the MD.
• Material recorded during timer recording will be saved to the
disc the next time you turn on the deck. “TOC Writing” will
flash in the display at that time. Do not disconnect the AC
power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes.
• Timer recording will stop if the disc becomes full.
