ONKYO CR-515 CR-315 Manuale Utente

The CD receiver has five timers: four programmable tim-
ers for automated playback or recording, and a sleep timer 
for turning the CD receiver off after a specified period.

The timers can be used with other Onkyo components 
that are connected to the CD receiver via 

 (see pages 

The various settings for the four programmable timers 
are explained here. For details on the sleep timer, see 
page 53.

Each timer can be programmed for playback (Play) or 
recording (Rec).

■ Play
Play mode can be used to start playback at a specified 
time on the CD receiver or another Onkyo component 
that’s connected to the CD receiver with an 

 cable. 

You could use a Play timer to turn on the CD receiver 
every morning, just like a radio alarm.

■ Rec
Rec mode can be used to start playback on one compo-
nent and start recording on another component at a spec-
ified time. The recording component (e.g., Onkyo 
cassette deck or MD recorder) must be connected to the 
CD receiver with an 

 cable. You could use a Rec 

timer to record your favorite radio show every day.

The playback component can be the CD receiver (AM, 
FM, or CD), an Onkyo component (MD recorder, cas-
sette deck, etc) that’s connected to the CD receiver with 
an 

 cable, or a component that’s connected to one of 

the CD receiver’s inputs, perhaps one with its own built-
in timer.
The recording component can be an Onkyo MD recorder 
or cassette deck that’s connected to the CD receiver with 
an  

cable.

Each timer can be programmed to work just once 
(Once), every week (Every), every day (Every Day), 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.

The timer will work every day.

The timer will work on the specified range of days. With 
this setting, you could set up a morning alarm for Mon-
day to Friday.

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 (pre-
set #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 one-off radio show (preset #2) to a 
cassette deck this Sunday, set as follows:
Rec

➔

FM 2

➔

TAPE

➔

Once

➔

SUN

➔

On 21:00

➔

Off 22:00

(You need an 

-capable Onkyo cassette recorder or 

MD recorder to do the recording.)

Timer 3: To record an FM radio show to a MiniDisc 
recorder every day from Monday to Friday, set as fol-
lows:
Rec

➔

Days Set

➔

MON

➔ 

FRI

➔

On 

15:00

➔

Off 15:30

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 

When a timer has been set, the TIMER indica-
tor and the number of the timer appear on the 
display. If the timer has been set to perform 
recording, an underscore character appears 
underneath the timer’s number.

Notes:
• The timers work only if the CD receiver is on Standby. 

If it’s on when a timer is supposed to start playback or 
recording, nothing will happen.

• While timed playback or recording is in progress, the 

timer’s Off time cannot be changed.

• To use timed playback or recording with an external 

component, make sure it’s properly connected to the 
CD receiver. Also, for 

 to work properly, make 

sure that the Input Display on the CD receiver is set to 
match the type of component you’ve connected to the 
MD/TAPE IN, DOCK/CDR IN, or DIGITAL IN (see 
page 29).
