Setting the Sleep Timer
When setting the sleep timer, you only have to tell the system when to switch off.
1 Select SLEEP TIMER from the timer menu.
Remember: switch between timer menu options using the $ and ›
buttons; select the option by pressing SET.
2 Select a time option:
Use the $ and › buttons to switch between options, then press SET.
AUTO plays the current CD, tape or MD out, then switches off the system.
90, 60 and 30 options switch off the system after 90, 60 and 30 minutes,
respectively; OFF cancels the sleep timer if it was previously set.
The little moon indicator lights in the display to show the sleep timer is set and the
display dims. To check how much time is left on the sleep timer, select
SLEEP TIMER
from the timer menu, then press SET. The display shows the remaining time.
Tip
AUTO will not be available if a CD
or MD is playing in repeat mode
(see p.25), or if a tape is playing
in endless mode (see p.33). If you
select
AUTO, then subsequently
start playing something in repeat
or endless mode, the sleep timer
will change automatically to the 90
minute setting.
Setting Up a Future Recording
You can set the timer to record something from either the tuner or a component
connected to the AUX/CD-R inputs. For example, you might want to record a
programme on the radio that is broadcast while you're at work. If you're recording
from an auxiliary component it must also be able to switch on at the time the
recording starts—this system can't control it—or you have to leave it switched on
until the recording has finished.
Timer recording works with either the tape deck or the optional MD recorder. During
the actual recording, the volume is automatically set to minimum.
