7 Using the 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.
1 Select the source that you’d
like to wake up to.
For a disc, press DVD; for the radio press
TUNER. For an external component, press
the corresponding button.
2 Load 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!
3 Press SYS then TIMER/CLOCK
ADJ.
4 Press the @ or # button until
you see WAKE-UP SET in the
display.
5 Press ENTER.
The display shows a switch on time with
the hour blinking.
6 Set the switch on time.
Use % and fi to set the hour then press
ENTER. Set the minute in the same way,
pressing ENTER to finish.
• If you make a mistake, press
TIMER/CLOCK ADJ and start again
from step 3.
7 Set the switch off time.
Set in the same way as the switch on time,
pressing ENTER to finish.
• If you make a mistake, press
TIMER/CLOCK ADJ and start again
from step 3.
8 Check 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.
9 Switch 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.
Activating/deactivating
the wake up timer
To activate the wake up timer, set the timer
to ON. To deactivate it, set the timer to
OFF.
1 Press SYS then TIMER/CLOCK
ADJ.
2 Press the @ or # button until
you see TIMER ON or TIMER
OFF in the display.
