Accessing record timers from standby
Setting a timed event
Your Mother's in town but obviously you don't want to miss 'Thrash metal hour'. Set a
timer and record* to SD card or your MiniDisc recorder and she need never know that
you really don't like the TV themes in Brass CD she got you last Christmas.
You can use timed events to set up recording* or set a timer to automatically tune in to a
station. See page 15 for details of how to use EPG to set a timed event. You can set up to
20 timed events or alarms.
To set up a timed event:
1. Press the Menu button, select the Alarm/timer option and choose Timed events.
2. Select Add an event to add a new event or select an event from the list to change
settings or set the event on or off.
3. Set the start time, duration, day and station you want the timed event for using the
navigation button to select (push) and change settings (up/down).
4. Choose to record to the SD card, output to an external recorder via the optical output or
Tune in to the station at that time.
Note The above instructions will not set the record time on an external recorder. Your
recorder may be able to detect when an S/PDIF signal is present (synchro-record) or you
will have to set your external recorder to start recording at the same time. You should also
press Menu, select Audio settings, Optical digital out and set this to Off/Timer if using a
synchro-record method so that your recorder can detect when the recording is to start.
Note If you set a timed recording and switch to standby while the recording is in
progress it will continue until the event ends. The Timer icon will flash to indicate this.
When you return to default mode or standby you see a clock symbol on the screen
indicating that a record (SD card or digital out) event is set or a musical note symbol if
a 'Tune in' event is set. A crossed out clock is shown if an event is not due in the next
24 hours.
