This feature operates somewhat differently for analog and digital signals. See below for details. English TIME RESCUE RECORDING The Time Rescue (TIME) recording function allows you to start recording six seconds before you press record. During record pause mode, the MD recorder monitors the input signal and continuously maintains a six second memory "cache".

You may find this function useful when recording live broadcasts, or when you want to start recording from the beginning of a song without recording lots of commercials (etc. ). Press M-MARK on the remote repeatedly to select automatic (MANUAL indicator out) or manual (MANUAL indicator lit) marking. MANUAL When recording analog signals Auto : Track numbers are written in synchronization with the input level of the signal being recorded.
