How to Set the Clock and Use the Timers
The timers let you control recording and playing functions automatically. With the
CA-S200 they are particularly easy to set and use. Four types of timers are available:
Q REC (Recording) Timer—unattended recording of radio broadcasts. You can set the
starting time and recording duration.
GQ DAILY Timer—Wake up to music from any source.
Q SLEEP Timer—Fall asleep and have your CA-S200 turn off automatically after a certain
Q
length of time.
AUTO POWER OFF—Automatically turns off the Unit when the CD or tape finishes.
Clock Setting
The timers depend on the clock: if the clock is right, the timers will work like you expect, but if the
time is incorrect on the clock then the timers will also be incorrect.
Notice: The clock must be set, or the timers cannot be set!
So, let’s set the clock first.
1. Press CLOCK ADJ.
2. Set the hour by pressing HOUR.
Each time you press it, the hour advances by one. Hold the button down, and the clock will
advance continuously as long as HOUR is held down.
3. Set the minutes by pressing MINUTE.
Each time you press MINUTE the minutes advance by one. Hold the button down, and the
minutes advance in ten minute increments as long as MINUTE is held down.
4. Press CLOCK ADJ. again and the clock is set and starts from zero seconds,
0S If there is a power failure, the clock loses its setting, the display shows “0:00”
(“AM 12:00” (for Canada)), and it must be reset.
Setting the REC (Recording) Timer
With the Recording Timer you can make a tape of a radio broadcast automatically whether or not you
are there. For the timer to work correctly, you need to make sure of the following in addition to setting
the time for the radio and tape recorder to come on:
QO You can set the Recording Timer whether the Unit is on or off.
Q The tape you want to record onto must be in deck B.
The radio station whose program you want to tape must be the last one played before timer
comes on.
Follow this procedure to set the Recording Timer
1. Press REC TIMER so that “REC TIMER” blinks on the display. As long as it is blinking, you
can continue with the setting process.
Q If you wait too long, and it stops before you are done, just press REC TIMER twice and start
over.
2. Set the time you want the radio to come on and the tape in deck B to start recording.
Q Press HOUR to set the hour and MINUTE to set the minute.
3. Press SOURCE/REC TIME to set the length of time for the recording.

increments
up to
120
minutes,
which

you
can
set.
Q At the end of the set length of time the CA-S200 will shut off.
+ If you set no time, but leave the display showing — -, the CA-S200 will not shut off,
but keep playing until you shut it off. :
4. Press REC TIMER again, or wait eight seconds. “TIMER OK” appears for a while, then “REC
TIMER” lights up on the display.
The Unit will memorize the setting. When the set time comes, the CA-S200 turns on and
records the last station tuned when the Unit was last turned off.
8& If you press any button while the Recording Timer is being activated, the function will be
deactivated, but recording will not stop.
