Timers
The CR-L5 has four timers that you can use to automatically
turn it on and off at certain times and on certain days of the
week, so you can listen to, or record your favorite programs.
Timers can be used to start and stop playback (Play), or to
start and stop radio or TV/LINE input recording (Rec) with
an Onkyo cassette tape deck connected via
.
Timers can be set for one-off use (Once), in which case the
timer is reset once the task has been completed, for use on a
certain day every week (Every), or for a range of days (e.g.,
Monday through Friday).
■
Timer Examples
The following examples highlight some of the ways in
which you can use the timers.
Timer 1: To wake up to your favorite radio station (preset
#1) every morning, set as follows:
PLAY
➔ FM 1 ➔ EVERY ➔ EVERY DAY ➔ ON 7:00 ➔ OFF
7:30
If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays, select “Days
Set” instead of “Everyday” and specify “MON–FRI.”
Timer 2: To record a one-off radio program (preset #2) this
Sunday, set as follows:
REC
➔ FM 2 ➔ ONCE ➔ SUN ➔ ON 21:00 ➔ OFF 22:00
(You need an Onkyo cassette tape deck to do the recording.)
■
Timer Overlap
If two or more timers are set to the same ON time, the timer
with the lowest number has priority. For example, if Timer
#1 and Timer #2 are both set to an ON time of 7:00, Timer
#1 has priority and Timer #2 is ignored.
Timer 1: 07:00 - 13:00 (This timer has priority.)
Timer 2: 07:00 - 12:30
If the settings of two timers overlap, the earlier timer has
priority.
Timer 1: 9:00 - 10:00
Timer 2: 8:00 - 10:00 (This timer has priority.)
Notes:
• The timers work only if the CR-L5 is in Standby mode. If
the CR-L5 is on when a timer is supposed to start play-
back or recording, nothing will happen, so be sure to
switch the CR-L5 to Standby mode.
• While a timed playback or recording task is in progress,
you cannot set the clock or change the specified OFF
time.
• While a timed recording task is in progress, the output of
the CR-L5 is muted. To hear what’s being recorded, press
the [MUTING] button to cancel the Mute function. Press
it again to mute the CR-L5.
The timers are set using the remote controller.
You must set the clock (page 16) before you can set the tim-
ers.
To use a timer to turn on the radio, you must preset some
radio stations first (see page 22).
