Getting Started
Setting the Clock
Once you set the MD deck's internal clock, the MD
deck will automatically record the date and time of all
recordings. When playing a track, you can display the
date and time the track was recorded (see page 21).
Time on this deck is displayed on a 12-hour clock (USA
and Canadian models only) or a 24-hour clock
(European model only).
