Using the Timer
The CD receiver has a programmable timer for
automated playback, and a sleep timer for turning the
CD receiver off after a specified period.
You can also use the alarm playback function of your
iPod to initiate timer playback on the CD receiver.
The timer can be used to start FM, CD, iPod/USB, or
LINE playback at a specified time. You could, for
example, use a timer to turn on the CD receiver every
morning, just like a radio alarm clock.
Note:
If iPod is selected as the input source for the timer
settings, USB will play if only a USB flash drive is
connected, and iPod/iPhone/iPad will play if an iPod/
iPhone/iPad is connected.
Note:
You must set the clock before you can program the
timer.
If you don’t operate any buttons for about 5 seconds
while programming a timer, the procedure will be
cancelled and the previous display will reappear.
When the CD receiver is turned on by the timer,
playback will begin with the most recently received
station in the case of FM, the first song in the case of
a CD or iPod (USB), and the current state of the
connected device in the case of LINE.
Only one timer can be set.
1
Prepare the source that you want the timer
to play.
If you want FM to play, tune to the station you
want to hear.
If you want a CD to play, insert the disc.
If your iPod/iPhone/iPad is used, switch the
connection mode to iPod (see page 21). If your
USB flash drive is used, switch the connection
mode to USB (see page 25).
If you want to play a device connected to LINE,
make settings on the connected device so that it
will start playing when the timer operates.
2
Press the [TIMER] button repeatedly until
“Timer XX” appears.
“XX” indicates the source that was last selected for
timer playback.
3
Use the arrow [ ]/[ ] buttons to select the
source, and then press [ENTER].
You can select the following sources:
FM, CD, iPod (USB), LINE.
In the display, “TIMER” and a number indication
will blink according to the input source you’ve
selected.
The number will be “1” for FM, “2” for CD, “3”
for iPod (USB), and “4” for LINE.
4
Use the arrow [ ]/[ ] buttons to specify the
hour at which you want the timer to play,
and then press [ENTER].
5
Use the arrow [ ]/[ ] buttons to specify the
minute at which you want to timer to play,
and then press [ENTER].
6
Use the arrow [ ]/[ ] buttons to select
“Timer On,” and then press the [ENTER]
button.
When a timer is turned on, its “TIMER” and
number appears on the display.
If there is no operation for several seconds, the
setting will be made with the currently-shown
content.
The display will return to its previous state except
for “TIMER” and the number of the selected input
source; the timer is now set.
7
Press the On/Standby [ ] button to set the
CD receiver to Standby.
Tip:
If you decide to cancel during this procedure without
making timer settings, press the [TIMER] button.
By pressing the [DISPLAY] button when specifying
the time, you can switch between 12-hour and 24-hour
displays.
Note:
Be sure to set the CD receiver to Standby, otherwise
the timed operation will not work.
If the timer has been set, timed operation will work
even if the SLEEP timer caused the CD receiver to
enter Standby mode.
Once the timer has been turned on, playback will start
at the same time every day. Be sure to turn off the
timer before leaving on vacation.
If the timer turns the power on, the “SLEEP”
indication will light. If no operation is performed for
one hour, the CD receiver will automatically enter
Standby mode. If you perform any operation, the
“SLEEP” indication will turn off, and the CD receiver
will continue operating.
This section describes the procedure for using the
remote controller, unless otherwise specified.
