Timer Play
You can program your Disklavier to play back groups of disks at various specified times. All you need to
do is register up to a maximum of 99 timer settings, and your Disklavier will perform them unattended.
This function is called Timer Play.
The "Timer Play Examples" section provides some examples of programmed playback.
Important: The Control Unit must be turned on in advance in order for Timer Play to function. Timer Play cannot
turn on/off the Control Unit.
Note: Prolonged playback may cause your piano to overheat. Insert sufficient breaks between continuous song
playback.
