Starting recording with 6 seconds of prestored audio data
� Time Machine Recording
When recording from an FM or satellite broadcast, the first few seconds of material are often lost due to the time it takes you to ascertain the contents and press the record button. To prevent the loss of this material, the Time Machine Recording feature constantly stores the most recent audio data in a buffer memory. This lets you record the sound from 6 seconds (12 seconds for monaural recording) before starting recording, as shown in the illustration below:

Before pulling out the mains lead
MD recording is completed when the MD Table of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1 to turn off the system. Do not pull out the mains lead before updating the TOC (while �TOC� is lit) or while updating the TOC (while �TOC� is flashing) to ensure a complete recording. Tips
� You can adjust the recording level to the desired volume after performing step 3 (see page 33). � You can check the remaining recordable time on the MD during recording by pressing DISPLAY on the remote.
Note
If you pause recording during CD recording, a track number is recorded at that point. Also, note that the tracks might be recorded as the same single track with a single track number when the same single track of the same CD is recorded repeatedly.
