Using the Timer

—Continued

Once a timer has been programmed, you can turn it on or 
off as necessary. For example, while you’re on holiday, 
you may want to turn off the timer you use as an early 
morning alarm.

1

Press the [TIMER] button repeatedly until 
“Timer On” or “Timer Off” appears.

2

Use the arrow [

q

]/[

w

] buttons to select 

either “Timer On” (set) or “Timer Off” 
(cancel).

If there is no operation for several seconds, the 
setting will be made with the currently-shown 
content, and the display will return to its previous 
state.
If you specify Timer On (set), the “TIMER” 
indication and the number of the selected input 
source will light.
If you select Timer Off (i.e., turn off the timer), the 
“TIMER” indicator will disappear.

With the sleep timer, you can set the CD receiver so that 
it automatically turns off after a specified period.

Press the [SLEEP] button repeatedly to select 
the required sleep time.

With the [SLEEP] button, you can set the sleep time 
from 90 to 10 minutes in 10 minute steps.

When the sleep timer has been set, the SLEEP indicator 
appears on the display. The sleep time appears on the 
display for about 3 seconds, then the previous display 
reappears.

Checking the Remaining Sleep Time

To check the remaining sleep time, press the [SLEEP] 
button.

Note that if you press the [SLEEP] button while the sleep 
time is being displayed, you’ll shorten the sleep time by 
10 minutes.

For example if you press the [SLEEP] button and the 
remaining time is shown as 55 minutes, pressing the 
[SLEEP] button once again will shorten this time to 50, 
and each subsequent press will shorten the time in 10 
minute increments.

Canceling the Sleep Timer

To cancel the sleep timer, press the [SLEEP] button 
repeatedly until “Sleep Off” appears.

Note:

• If the timer turns the power on, the “SLEEP” 

indication will light. If you perform any operation, the 
“SLEEP” indication will turn off. If you want to set 
the SLEEP timer, you’ll need to make the setting again 
after the “SLEEP” indication turns off.

When the alarm play function of the iPod connected to 
the CD receiver starts playing a song, the CD receiver 
will power-on and switch to the iPod input.

1

On your iPod, make settings for its alarm 
play function.

2

Connect your iPod (see page 20).

3

Repeatedly press the [TIMER] button to 
make the iPod alarm mode “iPodAlarmOff” 
message appear.

4

Use the arrow [

q

]/[

w

] buttons to select 

“iPodAlarmOn”.

If there is no operation for several seconds, the 
setting will be made with the currently-shown 
content, and the display will return to its previous 
state.

5

Press the On/Standby [

8

] button to set the 

CD receiver to Standby.

When the alarm play function of the iPod begins, 
the CD receiver will power-on and the input will be 
switched to iPod.

Note:

• In order for the timer to work, the CD receiver must be 

in standby mode.

• This function will not work if the iPod is not 

connected.

• This function won’t work when the sound set for the 

alarm is a built-in sound (Beep).

• This function won’t work with models on which 

music files cannot be used to set the alarm sound.

Tip:

• This function will power-on the CD receiver and 

switch the input to iPod when it detects a song being 
played back by the iPod. If you play back a song on the 
iPod without using its alarm play function, the CD 
receiver will power-on and switch to the iPod input in 
the same way.
