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 feature
constantly stores 6 seconds of the most recent
audio data in a buffer memory. When you
start recording the sound source, the
recording actually starts with the 6 seconds of
audio data stored in the buffer memory in
advance, as shown in the illustration below:
To stop recording
Press MD π.
If “Level Over” appears in the
level meter
A high-level signal was input during
recording in the tape function. When the
sound distorted reduce the recording level
(see page 54), then re-record.
While “TOC” is lit or is flashing
To ensure complete recording, do not move
the deck or pull out the mains lead. The deck
updates the Table of Contents (TOC) while
“TOC” is flashing.
Tip
You can change the recording time and the
remaining time in the display while recording by
pressing DISPLAY on the remote.
Notes
• The MD recording is complete only after all the
recording information is entered to TOC at which
point TOC stops flashing and goes out. Be careful
disconnect the mains lead or move the deck before
this point. Before disconnecting the mains lead, do
the following:
– Remove the MD.
– Press POWER, to turn off the system.
• If you pause recording during CD recording, a
track number is recorded at that point. Also, note
that the tracks are recorded as a single track with a
