All I know is that the menus have a starting point which they seem to
default to so thus far following the manual has told me pretty much
everything I've found in the menu system.
Also the machine has dedicated buttons that take you to dedicated
functions depending on what you're doing.
For example, when playing a track if you press the "Mode" button you're
taken into the "Play Mode" screen where you can select between Randome
Repeat and the aforementioned "Tiome Search" function which is the first
option presented so after pressing "Mode" you just press in on the
jog-dial or "Enter" on the remote to get into the "Time Search" screen.

Another progress report on the unit.
I’ve managed to work out how the “Time Search” works, you can search (Jump
Backwards or forwards in time - by set increments through a track or disc.
To put this in perspective then.
Suppose you recorded a 3 hour radio broadcast and new that each commercial
break was around 2 minutes long.
When you heard the start of the commercial break you could use the time search
to skip forward 2 minutes to bypass the break.
Suppose you missed the start of a portion of the audio you wanted to hear by
say 10 seconds, you could use the time search function to go back in time 10
seconds.
So far I’ve discovered that “Time Search’ will let you jump backwards and
forwards in minutes and seconds.
You can either jump by minute or second using the jog-dial or keys on the
remote or enter a numeric value on the numeric keypad of the remote.

Hi when you get sometime and get more in to this hard drive recorder?
Are you thinking of maybe of doing A podcast describing it and show us some of
what it can do?

Two words spring to mind when using this Hard Drive recorder and they
are flexibility and convenience.
Yamaha have added a CD Drive to this recorder you can copy to and from.
You’ll also find a set of digital and analogue inputs/outputs so yes the
recorder can record digital/analogue from other sources such as a
digital tuner or Cassette player.
The machine can be used as a DAC, connect a digital source to the
digital input and hear the resulting output through the analogue
connection jacks which is often better than the analogue you would hear
on the source itself.
Up until now I’ve used my computer systems to rip CD’S but given how
convenient the hard drive recorder is I don’t think I’ll be bothering
with the computer too much in the future for CD ripping for my personal
CD collection.
Copying a CD to the Hard Drive is as easy as inserting the CD, pressing
the “Copy” button and then pressing the “Play” button to start the CD
copy procedure, copying of a CD to the Hard Drive takes around 10 minutes.
The copy method I described above is the basic copy method and there are
others which are more advanced, you can select the track or tracks you
want copied from your CD for example so I’ll get to trying those methods
out in time.
Each CD copied using the recorder is put into a separate “Group” thus
one group per CD.
You can switch easily between “Group” and “Track” selection by pressing
the jog-dial which toggles between these two modes whilst in playback.
Added to this are the skip forward and back buttons thus you can switch
to “Group” mode and use the buttons to move between tracks in a group.
Editing functions are available to allow the user to put in names for
groups and tracks but I have no need for this as its easy enough for me
to identify the CD’S I’ve copied over by the tracks presented in each group.
You can mark favourite tracks and play them from you “Bookmark List”,
unfortunately the recorder only handles one Bookmark listing.
The recorder can use CDR or CDF-W discs for recording, pity the recorder
won’t handle CD-RAM discs as the Panasonic equipment does.
The recorder has a Headphone amp however the amp has problems as it
compresses the output sound at louder volumes.
Front panel controls are well laid out but I prefer to use the remote
control as the remote contains direct buttons to control more of the
recorders functions directly along with a numeric keypad with letters.
So that’s everything I’ve discovered about the recorder so far, I’ll
write to the list as I progress with the recorder.
