Setting the SLEEP Timer
(Using the Remote Control)

number of minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep

source to play before shutting off.

the number of minutes shown on the display in this
sequence:

dimmed.)
The System is now set to turn off after the number of min-
utes you set.

inal display.
