Using the Timer Functions

The DVD receiver features three timer functions: Sleep, Once, and Every timer.

About the Once and Every Timers

Selecting a timer number

You can set up to four timers.

Timer operation types

Timer Play: The specified component starts playback at the specified time.

Timer Rec: The specified component starts recording at the specified time.

The Timer Rec operation is available for recording on

an Onkyo cassette tape deck that features an con- nector connected to the DVD receiver. Select the cor- rect input source.

Selecting media for timer operation

You can select any external device equipped with timer, including AM/FM tuner, DVD (only with disc loaded in the tray) and Onkyo cassette tape deck linked to the DVD receiver. (You must set the devices so that the com- ponent name is displayed correctly on the DVD receiver.)

For the Timer Rec operation, you can select AM, FM, or an external component that is connected to the LINE connector and features the Timer function.

Selecting the day(s) of the week

The Once timer operates only one time. The Every timer operates at the specified time on the specified day(s) of every week. For the Every timer, you can select any con- secutive days of the week, such as everyday, every Mon- day through Friday, or every Saturday and Sunday.

i.e.,

Timer 1: Used as an alarm clock every morning.

Timer Play — Every — Everyday — 7:00-7:30 Timer 2: Records a radio program every week.

Timer Rec — Every — MON - SAT — 15:10- 15:30

Timer 3: Records a radio program only this Sunday. Timer Rec — Once — SUN — 10:00-12:00

Notes:

You cannot change the clock or the end time of the timer operation during Timer playback or recording.

You cannot use the Timer function unless the clock is set. Be sure to set the clock first.

If you program a timer on a connected external com- ponent, be sure to connect the component correctly and securely. You cannot use timer playback or recording with incomplete connection.

During the Timer Rec operation, the muting function is activated and the audio level is minimized. To listen to the audio being recorded, press MUTING on the remote controller.
