Basic Operation

Turning the unit on or off

Press the POWER button to turn the unit on or off.
When the unit turns on, the display lights.

Check  the  POWER  ON  START  switches  that  determine  what  the 
unit does when the power is turned on. 

When the power is turned on, and the POWER ON START 
(OFF-PLAY-REC) switch for the timer is set to PLAY or 
REC

or

The  source  set  with  the  POWER  ON  START  (CD-TAPE-
USB) switch starts playback/recording.

The timer recording can only record to cassette tape (pages 
45-47).

When the power is turned on, and the POWER ON START 
(OFF-PLAY-REC) switch for the timer is set to OFF

The  source  set  with  the  POWER  ON  START  (CD-TAPE-
USB) switch becomes the active source. 

When you do not want to use the timer, be sure to set the OFF-
PLAY-REC  switch  to  the  OFF  position  to  prevent  accidentally 
recording over an important cassette tape.
