Timers

About the Timers

The CR-505 has four timers so that you can turn it on and off automatically at certain times and on certain days of the week, in order to listen to, or record your favorite programs. Timers can be used to start and stop playback (Play), or to start and stop radio or LINE input recording (Rec) with an Onkyo cassette tape deck or Mini Disc recorder connected

via .

Timers can be set for single use (Once), in which case the timer is reset once the task has been completed, for use on a certain day every week (Every), or for a range of days (e.g., Monday through Friday).

Timer Examples

The following examples highlight some of the ways in which you can use the timers.

Timer 1: To wake up to your favorite radio station (preset #1) every morning, set as follows:

PLAYFM 1EVERYEVERY DAYON 7:00OFF 7:30

(If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays, select “DAYS SET” instead of “EVERYDAY” and specify “MON–FRI.”) Timer 2: To record a radio program (preset #2) on the cas- sette tape deck only this Sunday, set as follows:

RECFM 2TAPEONCESUNON 21:00OFF 22:00 (You need an Onkyo cassette tape deck to do the recording.)

Timer Overlap

If two or more timers are set to the same ON time, the timer with the lowest number has priority. For example, if Timer #1 and Timer #2 are both set to an ON time of 7:00, Timer #1 has priority and Timer #2 is ignored.

Timer 1: 07:00 - 13:00 (This timer has priority.)

Timer 2: 07:00 - 12:30

If the settings of two timers overlap, the earlier timer has priority.

Timer 1: 9:00 - 10:00

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

Notes:

The timers work only if the CR-505 is in Standby mode. If the CR-505 is on when a timer is supposed to start play- back or recording, nothing will happen, so be sure to switch the CR-505 to Standby mode.

While a timed recording task is in progress, the output of the CR-505 is muted. To hear what’s being recorded, press the [MUTING] button to cancel the Mute function. Press it again to mute the CR-505.
