You can record the program you’ve created on a tape,
DAT or MD. The program can contain up to 24 tracks.
By inserting a pause during programming, you can
divide the program into two for recording on both
sides of a tape.

on a tape) while checking the total playing time
indicated in the display.

to insert a pause.

When you record on one side of the tape or on a
DAT or MD, skip this step and go to Step 4.
A pause is counted as one track
You can program up to 23 tracks when you insert a
pause.
3 Repeat Step 1 to create the program for side B.
4 Start recording on the deck and then press on
the player.
When you record on both sides of the tape, the
player pauses at the end of the program for side A.
5 When you record on side B, reverse the tape and
press or on the player to resume playing.
