Hello, I’m Sean with Tascam,
and here I have the DR-05X and the DR-07X handheld recorders.
And today I will be showing you how to set up the automatic timer function on these units.
The automatic timer function is a new addition with our latest firmware update.
So, if you haven’t already installed the latest firmware,
navigate to either the DR-05X or DR-07X product page at tascam.eu,
depending on which unit you have, and get that firmware update
from the Downloads tab and follow the direction for installation.
In order to be able to use the timer function, first we have to set the date and time on the unit itself.
Click the Menu button and scroll down to “Others”.
Then scroll down to “Date/Time” and ENTER by pushing the PLAY button.
We can select to change either the year, month, day, hour, minute, or second
by scrolling sideways with the fast-forward and reverse buttons.
And we can change any of those parameters by using the plus and minus signs.
Now that the date and time has been properly set, we can dive into the Auto Timer function.
Again, we’ll need to enter the menu and navigate to the “Timer Record” submenu and press ENTER.
If you’ve just entered the date and time and are in the “Others” menu,
press Menu again and scroll up to “Timer Record” and press PLAY to enter.
Here we see Start Time, End Time, and Timer.
Press Fast-Forward on “Start Time” to highlight the time,
then PLAY to set the time, then press PLAY again when you’re done.
Do the same for the “End Time” selection to set the end time.
Lastly, highlight “Timer”, then press Fast Forward,
then Plus to set the timer for once or daily.
Press Minus to scroll back to “Off”.
You’ll see this screen when the timer is on and set
until one minute before the recorder starts recording.
At that point, the unit will switch and display the incoming levels.
Here you see the DR-07X has now started recording.
And now that it’s finished, the unit shuts itself off.
And it’s as easy as that to set up the timer on your DR-05X or DR-07X handheld recorder.
At any time, you can click the PLAY button to pause the recording,
and then just click the PLAY button again to resume.
You can also press the STOP button to end the recording early.
The Auto Timer is a great feature to utilize if you need to record things
like daily meetings, lectures, and even audio note-taking for school.
This is a great option for houses of worship to record sermons as well.
Thanks so much for watching!
We hope you found this helpful.
