To Use the Timer Functions
You can use the timer functions to schedule one-time, daily, and weekly playback
or recording events. SonicStage Premium enables you to select the date, start
time, end time, and timer event duration for the available audio sources.
Setting up a timer event
You can set up a timer event by dragging an audio source icon directly onto the
Calendar.
1 Click (Timer). The Timer Setting window appears.
2 Use the directional icons to locate the start date for your timer event.
3 Drag the desired audio source icon to the Calendar and drop it on the date
you want the timer event to begin. A confirmation message appears.
4 Click OK.
A Timer Bar (a thick, vertical line) appears in the Calendar, marking the
duration of the timer event, and the event is added to the Event List on the
Timer Setting window.
5 Adjust the start, end, and duration of the timer event by dragging either side
of the Timer Bar to the desired location.
To move the Timer Bar to a new location, click on the center of the bar and
drag it to a new time period.
The timer event setup is completed. At the scheduled time, SonicStage™
Premium software automatically starts the event from the selected audio source.
✍
Timer events can only be performed when your computer’s power is on, such as during
active use, Stand by, or hibernation modes.
You cannot set up timer events for external devices or media.
✍
If you use the M drive audio source icon, the Select Playlist dialog box displays. Select
the Playlist for the timer event and click OK.
