You can enjoy timer settings with the unique dual timer, consisting of the Timer 1 and Timer 2. These Timers can independently select a playback source from the CD player (Normal Play or Random Play), Tuner, or 8 melodies. For example, you can make up to a melody every morning with the Timer 1, and without changing the Timer 1 setting, you can listen to the favorite program by reserving it with the Timer 2. Also, you can use the Sleep Timer to fall asleep to music. Your System automatically turns off after a certain length of time.

CAUTION: If memory backup batteries are exhausted or not installed, and the AC power cord is disconnected or there is a power failure, time settings will be erased from memory in approx. half a day. Then, the display blinks “AM 12:00”. If this happens, set the current time (clock) and perform the timer setting again.

Setting the Clock

When the Unit is operated on AC power or batteries for the first time, the time indication “AM 12:00” will blink on the display and you need to set the clock. You can set the clock whether the Unit is turned on or off (Standby) if the AC power is supplied to the Unit.

Notes:

• The clock must be correctly set for the timer to work.

• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month.
