Using the sleep timer
The sleep timer switches the system into standby after a
specified amount of time so that you can fall asleep
without worrying about the stereo being left on all
night. If you've also set the wake up timer this is
important since the wake up timer will only work if the
system is in standby.
1 Press SLEEP (SHIFT & 6) to set the time
until the system goes into standby.
Press repeatedly to switch between:
•
SLEEP
AUTO

the system is playing a CD*

SLEEP
90
(minutes)
•
SLEEP

•
SLEEP

(minutes)
•
SLEEP
OFF
(cancels the sleep timer)
The sleep timer indicator ( ) lights and the display
dims when the sleep timer is active.
* This is not available when a Video CD is in PBC mode,
or if you're playing a CD or Video CD in repeat mode. If
you set a disc playing in repeat mode after setting the
sleep timer to
SLEEP
AUTO
, it automatically switches
to the 90 minute setting.
• Once the sleep timer is set, you can check the time
left by pressing
SLEEP
(
SHIFT

standby, or select
