unattended recording with a timer ?

[gpgma]

Hello,

I have a sony mds-je530 and would like to record off a radio unattended. I was looking at a "lamp timer", but how would the MD know to record ?.

This is the link to the timer I referred to.

Any advice appreciated. Geoff

That timer, or any similar one, should be fine - but only if the JE530 has a Timer - Rec switch. You better check whether it does or not first. It should be located on the front panel as a sticky-out lever. I'm not absolutely sure but I don't think the JE-5xx series have a timer, usually the higher end models do.

Basically the principle is that you have to set the time that the timer goes on and off, then set the Timer switch on the deck to 'Record'.

The deck will start recording when the timer goes on - when the timer goes off the power is cut to the deck and the recording session is effectively finished....

You'll then have to do some editing if you want to remove the ads etc...

The Deck does have the timer mode switch !.

Thanks Much ! Geoff
