set between 1 and 30 seconds in 1-second incre-
ments. (Default setting: 3 seconds).

"Time Machine" recording
This function makes it possible to start recording up
to 6 seconds before the time the recording operation
is actually started. It operates by holding the input
signal in a buffer memory that can be set to contain
up to 6 seconds of data representing a normal stereo
input signal.
Before following the procedure below, make sure
that basic recording preparations have been com-
pleted, a recordable disc is inserted, and the deck is
in stop mode.

Set the time value for the amount of data to
be stored in the buffer using the
"TM_REC?" option on the REC sub-menu
of the MD menu.
Setting values range from 1 to 6 seconds in 1-
second increments, as well as OFF. The
default setting is OFF.
