— Time Machine recording
When recording from a radio broadcast, the
first few seconds of material are often lost
because of the time it takes you to ascertain the
contents and press the buttons. To prevent this
loss of material, the “Time Machine recording”
feature constantly stores a maximum of 10
seconds of the most recent audio data in buffer
memory. When you start recording a radio
program, the recording actually starts with the
10 seconds of audio data stored in buffer
memory in advance. You can also record
without the prestored 10 seconds as well.
