if both switching times are programmed and overlap each other: - Switch-on times have always priority over switch-off times.

- The second switching times have priority over the first switching times.

Already programmed stations are not affected by time pro- gramming.

The switching times always refer to the times indicated in the display (TIME I or TIME II).

An example for better understanding:

You have programmed the local time (e.g., CET or CEST) as TIME I. TIME II stands for a second time zone (e.g., Greenwich Mean Time/GMT).

You have entered 14.00 hours as switch-on time and set the radio to "AUTO".

If then the display indicates TIME I, the radio will be switched on at 14.00 hours local time;

if the display indicates TIME II, the unit will be switched on at 14.00 hours of the second time zone.

Switch the radio on.

Select the menu item ON 1 (switch-on time 1).

Use the numeric buttons 0 ... 9 to set the desired switchon time and confirm the entry with the TIME I/II button. The switch-off time is automatically set so that one hour playing time is obtained.
