TIME RESCUE RECORDING The Time Rescue (TIME) recording function allows you to start recording four seconds before you press record. During record pause mode, the MD recorder monitors the input signal and continuously maintains a four second memory "cache". Therefore, you can record a song that just started without cutting off the beginning. 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 commercials (etc.). TITLE CHAR.
