Using the timer functions

The FR-N3X provides five timer functions: Sleep, Once, Weekday, Weekend, and Rec timer.

Five basic functions

Sleep timer

This timer places the FR-N3X into standby mode automatically when the sleep timer counts down to zero. This function is convenient, for example, when you wish to fall asleep to music or a radio program.

Once, Weekday, and Weekend timer (For playback)

When the programmed start time is reached, the power is automatically turned on and the specified input source starts playback.

The unit enters standby mode when the specified end time is reached.

The Once timer operates only one time.

The Weekday timer operates every Monday to Fri- day (initial setting).

You can customize the Weekday timer to match your schedule.

The Weekend timer operates every Saturday and Sunday (initial setting).

You can customize the Weekend timer to accom- modate your weekend schedule.

Using the Sleep timer

The Sleep timer can be set for 10 to 90 minutes, in intervals of 10 minutes.

Operating with the remote controller

SLEEP

Rec timer (For recording)

When the specified start time is reached on the speci- fied day, the unit automatically powers on. The speci- fied recorder starts recording data from the selected input.

The following two settings are available for the REC timer:

Once: Timer recording is made only once at the specified time.

Every: Timer recording is made once every day at the specified time. (You can also change the setting for the day(s) of the week.)

The unit enters standby mode when the set end time is reached.

The MD recorder enters record standby mode. If an Onkyo cassette tape deck is connected to the FR- N3X, change the input source indication from CD-R to TAPE. In this case, you can select “TAPE” or “MD&TAPE” as the recording device.

Tips

While Rec timer is operating, the sound is muted. To check the sound during timer recording, press MUTING or VOLUME / on the remote controller to turn off the muting function.

Press SLEEP while you are listening to music or a radio pro- gram.

“Sleep 90” appears in the display, indicating the unit will turn off in 90 min- utes.

Each press of the same button reduces the remaining time by 10 minutes.

Checking the remaining time

Press SLEEP while the Sleep timer is on. If you press SLEEP while the remaining time is displayed, the remaining time is reduced by 10 minutes.

Canceling Sleep timer

Press SLEEP repeatedly until “Sleep off” appears in the display.

Turning off the unit automatically after completing CD Dubbing

If you set the Sleep timer while you are carrying out CD Dubbing to CD, MD, Onkyo stereo cassette tape deck, or CD-R, the unit will turn off after completing CD dubbing regardless of the remaining time you set. This is convenient for starting CD Dubbing before going to bed or going out.
