Onkyo CBX-300 instruction manual Using the Timers, About the Timers

Using the Timers

The CBX-300 has five timers: four programmable timers for automated playback, and a sleep timer for turning the CBX-300 off after a specified period.

The timers can be used to start FM, AM, CD, or iPod playback at a specified time. You could, for example, use a timer to turn on the CBX-300 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 47.

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 for Mon- day to Friday.

Timer Example

To wake up to your favorite radio station (preset #1) every morning, you could program a timer as follows: Snooze On➔FM➔#1➔Every➔Everyday➔On 7:00➔Off 7:30

If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays, 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: 07:00 – 13:00 (This timer has priority.)

Timer 2: 07:00 – 12:30

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

Timer 1: 9:00 – 10:00

Timer 2: 8:00 – 10:00 (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: 0:00 – 1:00 (This timer has priority.)

Timer 2: 1:00 – 2:00

Timer Indicators

When a timer has been set, the	TIMER indicator
TIMER indicator and the number
of the timer appear on the display.
When a timer has been set for
snooze, an underscore appears
below its number (see page 46).

Notes:

•The timers work only if the CBX-300 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.
