For details, refer to the instructions of your audio timer.
No change in any of the other connections between the
deck and amplifier/receiver, etc., is necessary.

With a commercially available audio timer it is possible to
make recordings and initiate playback automatically at
any time.
Make sure that all power cord connections between the
timer and amplifier/receiver are properly made.

TIMER RECORDING/PLAYBACK

1.

After turning on the power to each component, select
the station on your tuner which you want to record and
turn down the volume on your amplifier/receiver.  This
will have no effect on the recording signal level.
Remember to set the proper recording level.

2.

Set the timer to the desired recording start and stop
times.  It is advisable to set the timer to begin
recording slightly before and end slightly after the
actual broadcast receiving time to leave some room
for later editing.

3.

Set the TIMER switch to the REC position.

4.

The timer will send power to the amplifier/receiver,
tuner and deck at the preset time, turning all the
components on and initiating the recording.

1.

Turn on the amplifier/receiver and adjust the volume
and tone controls.

2.

Set the input mode selector of your amplifier/receiver
to the cassette deck function mode.

3.

Set the timer to the time you wish to start and stop
playback.

4.

Set the TIMER switch to the PLAY position.

5.

At the preset time, the timer will turn power on to the
amplifier/receiver and cassette deck and begin
playback.  It will shut power off at the preset time as
well ending playback.

Notes:

Whenever the timer recording/playback is not intended,
make sure to set the TIMER switch to OFF position to
prevent the unnecessary recording/playback.

÷

If the TIMER switch is set to REC position and the power
is supplied (plugging in the power cord or automatically
supplying the power after power failure, etc.), the deck
automatically enters REC mode and the contents of the
cassette tape inserted in the deck will be erased.

÷

If the cassette tape cannot be ejected after timer
recording/playback, press the POWER button to turn on
the power and then the STOP button.  The EJECT button
can now be operated.
