Switching On and Setting the Clock

If you've followed the manual to here, you should now have your system installed with everything connected up and plugged in. This chapter takes you through using the basic features: playing CDs and tapes, listening to radio stations, and adjusting the volume, tone and balance to get the sound you want.

First of all, we'll set the clock. This is mainly used for timer functions, such as the sleep timer, though you can also use the display as a clock. Unless you unplug the unit, or there's a power failure, you only need to set the clock once.

Mise en service et rŽglage de lÕhorloge

Si vous avez suivi toutes les instructions précédentes du manuel, la chaîne devrait être raccordée et branchée correctement. Ce nouveau chapitre vous indique comment utiliser les fonctions élémentaires : lecture de CD et de cassettes, écoute de la radio et réglage du volume, du timbre et de la balance pour obtenir le son souhaité.

Avant tout, réglez l’horloge. Elle sert surtout pour la minuterie, la minuterie sommeil par exemple, mais peut servir aussi pour indiquer l’heure. L’horloge n’a besoin d’être réglée qu’une seule fois, à moins que vous débranchiez l’appareil ou qu’une coupure de courant se produise.
