standby mode by plugging the AC power cord of 
the deck into a wall outlet or set the timer to

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.
