Using the Timer Functions
The FR-X7A 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 play-
back at the specified time.
• Timer Rec: The specified component starts record-
ing at the specified time.
• The Timer Rec operation is available for recording
an MD on the FR-X7A or recording on an Onkyo
cassette tape deck that features an
connector
connected to the FR-X7A. Select the correct input
source.
Selecting media for timer operation
You can select AM, FM, CD or MD on the FR-X7A, 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 FR-X7A.)
For the Timer Rec operation, you can select AM, FM,
or an external component that is connected to the
LINE or DIGITAL 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 consecutive days of the week, such as
everyday, every Monday through Friday, or every Sat-
urday and Sunday.

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 compo-
nent, be sure to connect the component correctly and
securely. You cannot use timer playback or recording with
incomplete connection.
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 pro-
grammed.

• If both timers start at the same time, the timer with
the lower number is enabled.
