Using the Timer Functions
The CD receiver features three timer functions: Sleep, Once, and Every timer.
Selecting a timer number
You can set up to four timers.
Timer operation types
• Timer Play: The specified component starts playback
at the specified time.
• Timer Rec: The specified component starts recording
at the specified time.
• The Timer Rec operation is available for recording on
an Onkyo cassette tape deck that features an
con-
nector connected to the CD receiver. Select the correct
input source.
Selecting media for timer operation
You can select AM, FM or CD on the CD receiver, or a
DVD or CDR on a connected Onkyo component, or a
connected external component that features a Timer
function. (You must set the devices so that the compo-
nent name is displayed correctly on the CD receiver.)
For the Timer Rec operation, you can select AM, FM, or
an external component that is connected to the LINE
connector and features the Timer function.
Selecting the day(s) of the week
The Once timer operates only one time. The Every timer
operates at the specified time on the specified day(s) of
every week. For the Every timer, you can select any con-
secutive days of the week, such as everyday, every Mon-
day through Friday, or every Saturday and Sunday.
i.e.,
Timer 1: Used as an alarm clock every morning.
Timer Play — Every — Everyday — 7:00-7:30
Timer 2: Records a radio program every week.
Timer Rec — Every — MON - SAT — 15:10-
15:30
Timer 3: Records a radio program only this Sunday.
Timer Rec — Once — SUN — 10:00-12:00
Notes:
• You cannot change the clock or the end time of the
timer operation during Timer playback or recording.
• You cannot use the Timer function unless the clock is
set. Be sure to set the clock first.
• If you program a timer on a connected external com-
ponent, be sure to connect the component correctly
and securely. You cannot use timer playback or
recording with incomplete connection.
• During the Timer Rec operation, the muting function
is activated and the audio level is minimized. To listen
to the audio being recorded, press MUTING on the
remote controller.
Timer indicators
If any of the timers is set, the TIMER indicator lights up.
If a number indicator is lit, the corresponding timer has
been programmed. If the number indicator is inside a
square, the Timer Rec operation is programmed.
If the programmed time overlaps with another timer
setting
• The timer with the earlier On time is enabled.
• If both timers start at the same time, the timer with the
lower number is enabled.
Timer 1 9:00 - 10:00
Timer 2 8:00 - 10:00
This timer (with the earlier On time) is
enabled.
Timer 3 12:00 - 13:00
This timer (with the lower number) is
enabled.
Timer 4 12:00 - 12:30
When the Sleep timer is set, the unit is placed in Standby
mode at the specified time.
