Timer recording

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.
