The people at Cambridge SoundWorks hope you enjoy

your new high-performance SoundWorks Radio 730.

Your new radio has great FM stereo sound and plays

useful AM band stations. It stores 16 FM station

presets along with 8 AM station presets. The large

32-character display and full-function remote makes

radio operation easy from across the room.

The SoundWorks Radio 730 will also display Radio

Data Service (RDS) FM station text.

An automatic dimmer function reduces display bright-

ness in dark rooms while maintaining good legibility in

bright light. An internal long-life power cell maintains

the current time during a power outage. By inserting a

9V battery (not supplied), a user ensures that a previ-

ously activated wakeup function will work even during

a power outage.

A front auxiliary input lets you quickly connect a

portable audio source (MP3/CD/cassette player). The

rear auxiliary input lets you connect a stationary audio

source like a component CD player. A Record Output

lets you send the current audio program signal to other

devices.

A convenient JOG button lets you select from a variety

of secondary adjustments (Bass and Treble, Snooze

time and Text display modes, among others).

INTRODUCTION

4

Remove the SoundWorks Radio (See A) from its pro-

tective polybag and place it in your preferred location.

The Radio’s Tone alarm and Subwoofer outputs will be

reduced if the Radio is placed on a compliant, soft

surface.

Connect the AM antenna (See B): To prepare the

antenna (1), fold the base (2) and snap it into place

(3). Position the AM antenna (4) in any out-of-the way

position, preferably at least 8 inches apart from the

Radio. Insert the AM Antenna’s miniplug into the

Radio’s rear panel minijack marked AM ANTENNA (5).

Rotate the AM antenna to achieve the best signal for

individual AM stations.

Connect the power cord by inserting
the SoundWorks Radio’s AC plug
into a convenient outlet.

The AC cord is also the Radio’s primary FM antenna. It

will function better if at least 50% or more of it’s length

follows a straight line (See C). Check to make sure the

FM antenna switch on the rear panel of the Radio

enclosure is in the “INTERNAL” position (factory

default).

If desired, the external FM antenna can be connected

and used instead of the internal antenna (See D).

Connect the external antenna to the “F”-type con-

necter of the rear panel. Set the FM antenna switch to

EXT (external) .

Setting the Clock

You can adjust the current time whether the Radio is

in Standby or On. Just press the time adjust buttons

(by the symbol) on the right hand side of the

display (See E).

Note: The current time can only be adjusted from the

Radio front panel. The Remote Control can adjust the

wakeup time, but not the current time.

Tone Alarm Backup Battery

For 48 hours of alarm function backup during an AC

power failure, obtain and install a 9 volt battery in the

radio compartment. Release the battery cover, attach

the battery and restore the cover.

If either alarm is set to activate (music or tone wake-

up) and the power fails, the battery sounds the tone

alarm at the appropriate time. Press Power on the

radio to silence the alarm. Remove the battery if the

unit is unplugged for more than 24 hours. Replace the

battery after 30 minutes of emergency tone alarm

operation (See F).

Standby and On

Pushing the POWER button chooses Standby or On

operation (See G).

The Power button can also be used to engage SLEEP

delay operation (See page 8).

Selecting The Radio Bands

1) Pressing the FM 1/2 button selects the FM radio

band and one of two banks of FM station presets.

You can store eight FM stations in the PRESET

bank FM1 and eight different FM stations in

PRESET bank FM2 (See H).

2) If you switch from another mode to FM, the Radio

will return to the last PRESET bank used (from

Standby, from AM operation, or when switching

from an AUX input). Pressing the FM 1/2 button

during FM operation selects the other preset bank.

3) Pressing the AM button selects the AM radio band.

The AM band has one PRESET bank.
