Does anyone have any experience of using a Yamaha CDRHD-1500 recorder with a timer? The instruction book shows how to do it but has anyone tried it and hence spotted any foibles? How about multiple switch-ons / switch-offs, e.g. when recording different radio programmes during a day?
Ears the only easy way to do this and record to a digital recorder like your 1500 is to use a HDD PVR, ie to use a Freeview PVR or Sky+ device, record the radio programme onto HD, then playblack & record onto the 1500 via a digital output on the PVR. I have never heard of a timer facility that can do this easily or at all. Go for a twin tuner device like the Humax 9200 and you can record 2 different things on different channels and at multiple times, the radio stations like TV have a 7 day EPG for sorting out recordings. Andyou can also record Digital TV like last nights Jool Holland too !!
FWIW this is how I record my material to MD, even thought there is a timer function with MD too.
