7 Using the Timer

Using the wake up timer

You can use the timer as an alarm clock to wake up to the sound of a disc loaded or the radio. If you have an external component operated by a separate timer, you can also set the source function to that.

Once the timer is active, it will switch the system on everyday at the set time.

Unlike an ordinary alarm clock, you need to set a system switch off time as well as a switch on time.

1Select the source that youÕd like to wake up to.

For a disc, press DVD; for the radio press TUNER. For an external component, press the corresponding button.

2Load a disc or tune to a radio station, then set the volume.

If you selected an external component, make the appropriate timer settings for it.

When setting the volume, remember things sound louder first thing in the morning!

8Check the settings you just made.

The display should indicate that you set the wake up timer, then show the on time, the off time, the function (DVD, etc.), and the volume.

There is no direct way to edit the timer settings. If you see that some timer setting is not what you’d intended, you’ll need to start the process again from the top.

9Switch the system into standby.

The timer will not work if the system is left on!

The standby light on the front panel lights green to indicate that the timer has been set.
