mum of 60 minutes. The LED will blink twice when

45 minutes, or 4 times for 60 minutes.
NOTE: The sleep timer starts 10 seconds after
the last press of the SLEEP key. Once you have activated
the Cinema 5’s built-in sleep timer, you must keep the

for partial functionality, however, only one
setup code will operate your home entertain-
ment component correctly. Make sure that all
of the components you are setting up can
be operated with an infrared remote con-
