Onkyo CR-445 instruction manual Using the Timers, About the Timers, Programming the Timers

Using the Timers

The CD receiver has four programmable timers for automated playback, and a sleep timer for turning the CD receiver off after a specified period.

The timers can be used to start all the playback at a specified time. You could, for example, use a timer to turn on the CD receiver every morning, just like a radio alarm clock.

About the Timers

The various settings for the four programmable timers are explained here. For details on the sleep timer, see page 39.

Repeat Timers

Each timer can be programmed to work just once (Once), every week (Every), every day (Everyday), or on a range of days (Days Set).

Once

The timer will work just once.

Every

The timer will work every week on the specified day and time.

•Everyday

The timer will work every day.

•Days Set

The timer will work on the specified range of days. With this setting, you could set up a morning alarm from Monday to Friday.

Timer Example

To wake up to your favorite radio station (preset #1) every morning, you could program a timer as follows:

FM￿#1￿Every￿Everyday￿On 7:00 am￿Off 7:30 am￿Timer Vol. 15

If you want a radio alarm only on week days, select “Days Set” instead of “Everyday” and specify “MON–FRI”.

Timer Priority

If two or more timers are set to the same On time, the lowest numbered timer has priority. For example:

Timer 1: 7:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M. (This timer has priority.)

Timer 2: 7:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M.

If two or more timers overlap, the timer with the earliest start time has priority. For example:

Timer 1: 9:00 A.M. – 10:00 A.M.

Timer 2: 8:00 A.M. – 10:00 A.M. (This timer has priority.)

If the On and Off times of two timers are the same, the timer with the earliest start time has priority and the other timer will fail. For example:

Timer 1: 1:00 P.M. – 2:00 P.M. (This timer has priority.)

Timer 2: 2:00 P.M. – 3:00 P.M.

Time Indicators

When a timer has been set, the TIMER () indicator and the number of the timer appear on the display.

Notes:

•The timers work only if the CD receiver is on Standby. If it’s on when a timer is supposed to start playback, nothing will happen.

•While timed playback is in progress, the timer’s Off time cannot be changed.

Programming the Timers

Notes:

•You must set the clock before you can program the timers.

•Before programming a timer to turn on the radio, you must preset the station you want to use. (See page 31.)

•If you don’t operate any buttons for 60 seconds while programming a timer, the procedure will be cancelled and the previous display will reappear.

1Press the [TIMER] button repeatedly to select timer 1, 2, 3, or 4, and then press [ENTER].

If “Clock” appears, you need to set the clock (see page 36).

2Use the [ ] / [ ] buttons to select the source, and then press [ENTER].

You can select the following sources: CD, iPod, FM, AM, or LINE
