Turning the REC (Recording) Timer On and Off
Once you have set the REC Timer to record a source, the timer set-
ting is stored in memory. So, recording will be made at the set time
everyday unless you cancel the REC Timer.
To cancel the REC Timer temporarily:
1
Press the CLOCK/TIMER button on the Unit
repeatedly until “REC” appears on the dis-
play.
2
Press the CANCEL button on the Unit.
“OFF” appears and the “REC” indicator goes out.
To activate the cancelled REC Timer:
1
Press the CLOCK/TIMER button on the Unit
repeatedly until “REC” appears on the dis-
play.
The “REC” indicator also blinks on the display.
2
Press the SET button on the Unit.
The “REC” indicator remains lit. Each setting already made
appears on the display in the order of ON time, OFF time, and
the preset number, and then the display returns to the original
display.
CAUTION:
• If the System is unplugged, or a power failure oc-
curs, the timer setting loses its setting immedi-
ately. You will need to reset the clock first, then
the timer.
• Once the REC Timer has been set, recording will
be repeatedly made at the set time everyday.
To use the REC Timer once, cancel the REC Tim-
er after you have finished recording with the
REC Timer.
