Setting the sleep timer
The sleep timer switches off the system after a specified time so
you can fall asleep without worrying about it.
Note:
If you set the sleep timer while either the wake-up or
record timer is active, the earlier switch off time takes priority.
1 Press SLEEP to select a switch-off time.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
•
AUTO SLEEP
– system switches off after the current source
has finished playing (you can’t set this if you’re listening to
the radio, or playing a CD in repeat play mode).
•
SLEEP 90
– system switches off after 90 minutes
•
SLEEP 60
– system switches off after an hour
•
SLEEP 30
– system switches off after 30 minutes
•
SLEEP 0
– cancels the sleep timer
The display dims when the sleep timer is set.
2 To check how much time is left, press SLEEP.
The remaining time is displayed momentarily (don’t press
SLEEP
again while the time is displayed or you’ll change the sleep timer
to a different setting).
Setting the record timer
The clock must be set to the correct time for the record timer to
work properly.
You can set the timer to record something off the radio. For
example, you might want to record a program that is broadcast
while you’re at work. During the actual recording, the volume is
automatically set to minimum. After the recording has finished,
the record timer is canceled.
Note:
Also, you cannot set both the wake-up and the record
timer. Use the front panel controls to set the timer:
1 Set up the tape deck.
Load a tape into deck II and wind on past the leader tape. XR-
A790 only: Switch Dolby NR on/off as required.
2 Press TUNER/BAND to select the tuner.
3 Tune in the station you want to record.
See page 30 for more detailed instructions on tuning.
