Timers
The CR-505DAB has four timers so that you can turn it on
and off automatically at certain times and on certain days of
the week, in order to listen to, or record your favourite pro-
grams.
Timers can be used to start and stop playback (Play), or to
start and stop radio or LINE input recording (Rec) with an
Onkyo cassette tape deck or Mini Disc recorder connected
via .
Timers can be set for single 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 favourite 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 “Every Day” and specify “MON–FRI.”)
Timer 2:
To record a radio program (preset #2) on the cas-
sette tape deck only this Sunday, set as follows:
REC
➔
FM 2
➔
TAPE
➔
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-505DAB is in Standby
mode. If the CR-505DAB is on when a timer is supposed
to start playback or recording, nothing will happen, so be
sure to switch the CR-505DAB to Standby mode.
• While a timed recording task is in progress, the output of
the CR-505DAB is muted. To hear what’s being
recorded, press the [MUTING] button to cancel the Mute
function. Press it again to mute the CR-505DAB.
The timers are set using the remote controller.
You must set the clock (page 16) before you can set the timers.
To use a timer to turn on the radio, you must first preset
some radio stations (see pages 26 and 29).
When the CD is selected for the input source, the timer can-
not be set without a disc placed on the disc tray. This avoids
forgetting to load a disc.
