8 Using the Timer
The timer menu
Using the timer features you can automatically record a
program from the tuner at a certain time, wake up to a CD
playing, or fall asleep at night to the radio. These functions
are available from the timer menu, which is accessed by
pressing the TIMER button. The menu has four options.
TIMER
WAKE UP – Set the system to switch on and start playing at a
certain time (for example, at the same time as your alarm
clock goes in the morning).
TIMER REC – Set the optional tape deck, MD or CD-Recorder
to record from the auxiliary inputs or a radio program at a
certain time.
SLEEP TIMER – Set the system to switch off at a certain time
(for example, half an hour after you go to bed).
CLOCK ADJUST – Set the clock to the correct time (see page
14). Remember, the timer functions won't work properly
unless you've set the clock!
Setting the wake up timer
Once set, the wake-up timer will remain active (i.e., it will
switch on the system every day) until you cancel it (see
Cancelling the wake up timer below). You can wake up to
the sound of any component in the system, but not a
component connected to the auxiliary inputs. To set the wake
up timer, you'll need to tell it which component to start
playing, what time to start, and also what time to stop.
