About the Timers

The CR-L5 has four timers that you can use to automatically

turn it on and off at certain times and on certain days of theSTANDBY week, so you can listen to, or record your favorite programs.

Timers can be used to start and stop playback (Play), or to start and stop radio or TV/LINE input recording (Rec) with

an Onkyo cassette tape deck connected via .

Timers can be set for one-off 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:

PLAY➔FM 1➔EVERY➔EVERY DAY➔ON 7:00➔OFF 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 one-off radio program (preset #2) this Sunday, set as follows:

REC➔FM 2➔ONCE➔SUN➔ON 21:00➔OFF 22:00

(You need an Onkyo cassette tape deck to do the recording.)

Setting the Timers

The timers are set using the remote controller.

You must set the clock (page 16) before you can set the tim- ers.

To use a timer to turn on the radio, you must preset some radio stations first (see page 22).

1 Press the [TIMER] button repeatedly to select Timer #1, #2, #3, or #4, and then press the [ENTER] button.

In this example, timer #1 has been selected.

■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-L5 is in Standby mode. If the CR-L5 is on when a timer is supposed to start play- back or recording, nothing will happen, so be sure to switch the CR-L5 to Standby mode.

•While a timed playback or recording task is in progress, you cannot set the clock or change the specified OFF time.

•While a timed recording task is in progress, the output of the CR-L5 is muted. To hear what’s being recorded, press the [MUTING] button to cancel the Mute function. Press it again to mute the CR-L5.

2 Use the Up/Down []/[ ] buttons to select Play or Rec, and then press [ENTER].

OR

3 Use the Up/Down []/[ ] buttons to select the input source, and then press [ENTER].

For timed playback you can select any input source. For timed recording you can select AM, FM, or TV/ LINE.

In this example, CD has been selected.
