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/iPhone 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 will play if an iPod/
iPhone is connected.
Notes:
• You must set the clock before you can program the 
timer.
• If you don’t operate any buttons for 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.
For an iPod/iPhone, place it in the dock. If you’re 
using a USB flash drive rather than an iPod/iPhone, 
disconnect the iPod/iPhone from the iPod dock 
(see page 29).
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.

Press the [TIMER] button repeatedly until 
“Timer XX” appears.
“XX” indicates the source that was last selected for 
timer playback.

You can select the following sources:

will blink according to the input source you’ve

The number will be “1” for FM, “2” for CD, “3” 
for iPod (USB), and “4” for LINE.

source; the timer is now set.
