Using The Timers; Programming The Timers - Onkyo CR-545 Instruction Manual

Using the Timers

The CD receiver has four programmable timers for
automated playback, and a sleep timer for turning the
CD receiver off after a specified period.
The timers can be used to start all the 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.
About the Timers
The various settings for the four programmable
timers are explained here. For details on the sleep
timer, see page 46.
Repeat Timers
Each timer can be programmed to work just once
(Once), every week (Every), every day (Everyday),
or on a range of days (Days Set).
Once
The timer will work just once.
Every
The timer will work every week on the specified
day and time.
• Everyday
The timer will work every day.
• Days Set
The timer will work on the specified range of
days. With this setting, you could set up a
morning alarm from Monday to Friday.
Timer Example
To wake up to your favorite radio station (preset #1)
every morning, you could program a timer as
follows:
FM #1 Every Everyday On 7:00 Off 7:30
Timer Vol. 15
If you want a radio alarm only on weekdays, select
"Days Set" instead of "Every Day" and specify
"MON–FRI".
Timer Priority
If two or more timers are set to the same On time, the
lowest numbered timer has priority. For example:
Timer 1: 07:00 – 13:00 (This timer has priority.)
Timer 2: 07:00 – 12:30
If two or more timers overlap, the timer with the
earliest start time has priority. For example:
Timer 1: 9:00 – 10:00
Timer 2: 8:00 – 10:00 (This timer has priority.)
If the On and Off times of two timers are the same,
the timer with the earliest start time has priority and
the other timer will fail. For example:
Timer 1: 0:00 – 1:00 (This timer has priority.)
Timer 2: 1:00 – 2:00

Time Indicators
When a timer has been set, the TIMER (
indicator and the number of the timer appear on the
display.
Notes:
• The timers work only if the CD receiver is on
Standby. If it's on when a timer is supposed to
start playback, nothing will happen.
• While timed playback is in progress, the timer's
Off time cannot be changed.

while programming a timer, the procedure will be
cancelled and the previous display will reappear.
