Timer Operations; Timer Recording; Timer Playback - Yamaha MDX-595 Owner's Manual

With a commercially available audio timer, it is possible to make recordings and initiate playback automatically at any time.
Make sure that all power cord connections between the timer and amplifier/receiver are properly made.
For details, refer to the instructions of your audio timer. No change in any of the other connections between the recorder and
amplifier/receiver, etc., is necessary.

Timer Recording

1
Turn on the power of each component, then set
your tuner to the station you want to record.
2
Set this unit's recording options.
Select digital or analog inputs, auto or manual marking,
and stereo or mono recording. When recording analog
signals, be sure to set the recording level. When
recording digital signals, the recording level is set at
0 dB. (See pages 13 to 16 for details regarding these
operations.)
3
Turn down the volume on your amplifier/receiver.
This has no effect on the recording level.
4
Set the timer to the times at which you want to
start and stop recording.
We recommend setting the timer to start a few minutes before
and stop a few minutes after the actual broadcast to leave
some room for later editing.
5
Set TIMER to REC.
TIMER
REC
When the preset time arrives, the timer turns on the
components (amplifier/receiver, tuner and MD
recorder) and the MD recorder starts to record. When
the stop time arrives, the timer stops the recording by
turning off the components.
Notes
• When recording to a blank MD, recording starts from the
beginning. When recording to a previously recorded MD,
recording starts from the end of the last track.
• Set TIMER to OFF when not using the timer recording
function. If the power is turned on (by pressing POWER,
plugging in the power cord, etc.) when TIMER is set to REC,
the MD recorder will start recording automatically.
