Once you have adjusted the clock, you need to press CLOCK/TIMER nine times until the clock setting mode is selected (the hour digit starts flashing).

The clock loses the setting and is reset to “0:00.” You need to set the clock again.
Turning On the Power and Selecting the Sources
When you press the play button (#/8) for a particular source, the unit automatically turns on (and starts playing the source).

For private listening
