Using the Timers
English
Setting the SLEEP Timer
Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number
of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can
fall asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by it-
self rather than play all night.
• You can only set the Sleep Timer when the System is on.
Using the Remote Control
1
During playback a source, press the SLEEP
button.
The “SLEEP” indicator starts blinking on the display.
2
Set the length of time you want the source to
play before shutting off.
Each time you press the SLEEP button, the time length chang-
es as follows:
10
=
20
=
30

(back to
the beginning)
3
Wait for 5 seconds.
The “SLEEP” indicator stops blinking and remains lit, and the
display returns to the original one before setting the Sleep
Timer.
The System is now set to turn off after the number of minutes
you have set.
To Confirm the Sleep Time:
When the SLEEP button on the Remote Control is pressed, the re-
maining sleep time is displayed. Wait until the display returns to
the original display.
To Cancel the SLEEP Timer Setting:
Press the SLEEP button on the Remote Control until the “SLEEP”
indicator goes out on the display.
• Turning off the System also cancels the SLEEP Timer.
Timer Priority
Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what
happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer:
❏
The REC Timer always has priority. This means that:
• If other timer is set to come on during a time when the REC
Timer is operating, the other timer just won’t come on at all,
so you will always get the entire program on a tape.
• If the REC Timer is set to come on while other timer is oper-
ating, the other timer will turn off just before the REC Timer
is set to turn on, and the REC Timer will then take over.
❏
If the SLEEP Timer is set while DAILY Timer is operating, the
DAILY Timer settings are cancelled. However, if DAILY Tim-
er is set to come on while the SLEEP Timer is operating, the
SLEEP Timer setting will be cancelled and the System will use
the settings from the DAILY Timer.
