The Timer Menu
Using the timer features you can automatically record a programme from the tuner at
a certain time, wake up to a CD playing, or fall asleep at night to
the radio. Access to these functions is from the
TIMER menu, which is accessed by
pressing the TIMER button. The menu has four options:
WAKE UP - Set the system to switch on and start playing at a certain time (for
example, at the same time as your alarm clock goes in the morning).
TIMER REC - Set the tape deck or optional MD player to record a radio programme at
a certain time.
SLEEP TIMER - Set the system to switch off at a certain time (for example, half an
hour after you go to bed).
CLOCK ADJUST - Set the clock to the correct time (see page 16). Remember, the
timer functions won't work properly unless you've set the clock!
Setting the Wake Up Timer
Once set, the wake-up timer will remain active (i.e., it will switch on the system every
day) until you cancel it (see Cancelling the Wake Up Timer below). You can wake up
to the sound of any component in the system, but not a component connected to the
AUX/CD-R inputs. To set the wake up timer, you'll need to tell it which component to
start playing, what time to start, and also what time to stop.
1 Select the component you want the timer
to start playing.
For example, press the CD button and load a CD into the player (no need to
start it playing). If you're using the tuner, tune in to a radio station.
Remember to set the volume at a suitable level (things sound louder first
thing in the morning...)
2 Select WAKE-UP from the timer menu.
Remember: switch between timer menu options using the
$ and ›
buttons; select the option by pressing SET .
