Using the Timers

The T-433 has five timers: four programmable timers for automated playback or recording, and a sleep timer for turning the system off after a specified time.

The timers can be used with other Onkyo Separate Col- lection components that are connected to the A-933 via (see page 11 for connection details).

Timer Usage Examples

Here are three typical applications for the timers.

■TIMER 1: Early morning radio alarm

PLAY–FM–1–EVERY–EVERYDAY–7:00–7:30

■TIMER 2: Record a radio show this Sunday

About the Timers

The settings for the four programmable timers are explained here. For details on using the sleep timer, see page 27.

Timer Types

Each timer can be programmed to PLAY or REC.

■PLAY

PLAY mode can be used to start playback on a compo- nent at a specified time. The component must be con-

nected to the A-933 with an cable. You could use a PLAY timer to turn on the T-433 every morning, just like a radio alarm.

■REC

REC mode can be used to start playback on one compo- nent and start recording on another component both at a specified time. The recording component (e.g., Onkyo MD recorder or cassette deck) and playback component

must both be connected to the A-933 with an cable. You could use a REC timer to record your favorite radio show everyday.

Playback & Recording Components

The playback component can be the T-433 (FM or AM), another Onkyo component (CD player, MD recorder, cassette deck, etc) that’s connected to the A-933 with an cable, or a component with its own built-in timer that’s connected to an audio input on the A-933.

The recording component can be an Onkyo MD recorder or cassette deck that’s connect to the A-933

with an cable.

Repeat Timers

Each timer can be programmed to work just once (ONCE), every week (EVERY), every day (EVERY DAY), 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 through Friday.

REC–FM–4–TAPE–ONCE–SUN–10:00–12:00

■TIMER 3: Record an FM radio show to MDR everyday from Monday through Friday.

REC–FM–1–MD–EVERY–DAYS SET–MON– FRI–15:00–15:30

Notes:

•Make sure that the T-433, the playback component, and the recording component are all properly con- nected to the A-933. Poor connections may cause timed playback or recording to fail.

•During timed recording, the A-933 is muted. To listen to the sound during recording, press the remote con- troller’s [MUTING] button.

•While timed playback or recording is in progress, the timer’s start and end times cannot be changed.

•The timers cannot be set if the clock has not been set, so set the clock first (see page 14).

•Pressing the [TIMER] button while timed playback or recording is in progress will turn off the current timer.

•Even if the T-433’s clock is set correctly, recording may not start exactly at the specified time if the recording component requires a few moments to read CD or MD (TOC) information before it begins recording. For this reason, it’s recommended that you set the recording start time about 1 minute early.

About the Timer Display

TIMER indicator

When one of the timers has been set, the TIMER indica- tor is shown on the display. While a timer that has been set is on, its number is displayed. A square () around a number indicates that it’s a REC timer.

Timer Priority

If two or more timers are set to start at the same time on the same day, the lower numbered timer has priority and the other timer is ignored.

Timer 1: 12:00–13:00 (This timer has priority.)

Timer 2: 12:00–12:30

If the times of two or more timers overlap on the same day, the timer with the earliest start time has priority and the other timer is ignored.

Timer 1: 9:00–10:00

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