Useful Tips when Recording from MDs to Tape

The Auto Space and Auto Pause Functions described in this section make recording from MDs to tape more easy.

Inserting blank spaces while recording to tape (Auto Space)

The Auto Space Function inserts a 3-second blank space between each track while recording from MDs to tapes, allowing you to use the AMS function during later playback.

Press A.SPACE repeatedly until "A.SPACE" appears in the display.

To cancel Auto Space
Press A.SPACE repeatedly until "A.SPACE" disappears.

Note
If the Auto Space Function is on while recording a selection containing multiple track numbers, (for example, a medley or symphony), blank spaces will be inserted within the selection whenever the track number changes.

Pausing after each track (Auto Pause)

When the Auto Pause Function is on, the deck pauses after playing each track. Auto Pause is convenient when recording single tracks or multiple, non-consecutive tracks.
Press A.SPACE repeatedly until "A.PAUSE" appears in the display.
To restart playback Press or .

To cancel Auto Pause
Press A.SPACE repeatedly until "A.PAUSE" disappears.

Note
If you turn off the deck or disconnect the AC power cord, the deck will recall the last setting of the Auto Space and Auto Pause Functions the next time you turn on the deck.

Playing an MD Using a Timer

By connecting a timer (not supplied) to the deck, you can start and stop playback operations at specified times. For further information on connecting the timer or setting the starting and ending times, refer to the instructions that came with the timer.

1. Do Steps 1 to 3 in "Playing an MD" on page 11.
2. Press CONTINUE, SHUFFLE or PROGRAM to select the play mode you want. To play only specific tracks, create a program (see page 23).
3. • If you want to specify the time for the start of playback, go to Step 4.
   • If you want to specify the time for the end of playback, press to start playback, then go to Step 4.
   • If you want to specify the time for both start and end of playback, go to Step 4.
4. Set TIMER on the deck to PLAY.
5. Set the timer as required.
   • When you have set the time for the start of playback, the deck turns off. When the specified time arrives, the deck turns on and starts playing.
   • When you have set the time for the end of playback, playback continues. When the specified time arrives, the deck stops playing and turns off. When you have set the time for both the start and end of playback, the deck turns off.
   • When the starting time arrives, the deck turns on and starts playing. When the ending time arrives, the deck stops playing and turns off.
6. After you have finished using the timer, set TIMER on the deck to OFF.

Note
You can select Program Play in Step 2. Note, however, that programs eventually fade away when the standby status is off, and therefore if you set the time too far in the future, the program may be gone when the specified time arrives. If this has occurred, the deck enters normal play mode at the specified time and the tracks play in consecutive order.
