TIMER

The system incorporates an integral clock module which can be set to switch the ma- chine on automatically at a fixed time of day. For this to work properly you have to set the internal clock to the correct time of day, and then set the power-on time. The time of day is set in the special function 'SETUP' (see the Chapter "Menu control system").

If you want to switch the timer on and off you must first select the tuner as the current auditioning source. This is because the timer always switches the system on set to the au- ditioning source TUNER, as this is the only way to ensure that a source signal is always present when the timer is tripped.

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER

First select the TUNER as auditioning sour- ce. Select the station and set the volume at which you want the machine to switch itself on.

Pressing the button now switches the machine to Timer Set mode.

If you have already selected a power-on time, the time you have set appears on the screen: e.g. '14-38 TIM', with 'TIM' (TIMer) flas- hing.

You can now move the time setting forward or back using the VOLUME buttons. If you hold the buttons pressed in, the rate of chan- ge increases.

To activate the timer hold the button pressed in for about a second. The screen briefly shows the switch-on time and 'SET' instead of 'TIM', e.g. '14-38 SET'.

At the same time the screen indicates that the timer is active by showing the glowing

symbol.

Pressing the button again cancels the timer. The screen confirms this by sho- wing the message 'ALARM OFF' briefly.

If you now switch the machine to STAND- BY mode when the timer has been set to ac- tive (by pressing the button at the front of the unit or on the RC handset), then it will switch itself on again at the program- med time.

Important:

The integral timer can only switch the ma- chine on from STAND-BY mode. When in STAND-BY mode the machine's screen shows the time of day.

When in STAND-BY mode the machine can temporarily show the alarm time if you press the button (no longer glowing).

A longer press (about 1 second) with the ma- chine in STAND-BY mode cancels the timer, and the screen confirms your action by displaying the message: 'ALARM OFF'.

ALARM - with automatic power-off

When the unit switches itself on under timer control, the illuminated symbol flashes. This indicates that the timer will automati- cally switch the unit back to STAND-BY mode after about one hour.

If you operate any control on the unit during this one-hour period (e.g. you alter the volu- me level or change pre-sets), then the illumi- nated symbol stops flashing. The timer will now no longer switch off automatically after an hour. If you wish to switch it off, you must do so manually!
