INTRODUCTION

The people at Cambridge SoundWorks hope you enjoy your new high-performance SoundWorks Radio CD 745. Your new radio has great FM stereo sound and plays useful AM band stations. It stores 16 FM station presets along with 8AM station presets. An integral, slot-load disc player plays audio CDs and MP3/WMA files on CD-ROM. The large 32-character display and full-function remote makes radio operation easy from across the room.

The SoundWorks Radio CD 745 displays three types of supplementary text:

Radio Data Service (RDS) FM station text

CD-text

“ID3” text stored in most MP3 and WMA files.

An automatic dimmer function reduces display brightness in dark rooms while maintaining good legibility in bright light. An internal long-life power cell maintains the current time accurately for many years. By inserting a 9V battery (not supplied), a user ensures that an activated wakeup function will work even during a power outage.

- -

Afront input jack allows easy connection of audio program sources (like portable digital music and cassette players).

A convenient JOG button lets you select from a variety of secondary adjustments (Bass and Treble, Snooze time and Text display modes, among others).

- -

GETTING STARTED

Remove the SoundWorks Radio CD (See A) from its protective polybag and place it in your preferred location. The Radio CD’s Tone alarm sound and bass output 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 site, preferably at least 8 inches apart from the Radio CD.

Insert the AM Antenna’s miniplug into the Radio CD’s rear panel minijack marked AM ANTENNA(5).

Rotate the AM antenna to achieve the best signal for individual AM stations.

GETTING STARTED (Continued)

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

The AC cord is also the Radio CD’s primary FM antenna. It will function better if at least 50% or more of its 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 INT (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 connector of the rear panel. Set the FM antenna switch to EXT (external).

GETTING STARTED (Continued)

 

Setting the Clock

E

You can adjust the current time whether the radio is in

 

Standby or On.

 

Just press the TIME ADJUST BUTTONS (next to the symbol)

 

on the right hand side of the display (see E).

 

Note: The current time can only be adjusted from the

 

radio CD faceplate. The remote control can adjust the

 

wakeup time setting, but not the current time.

 

Tone Alarm Backup Battery

 

For 48 hours of alarm function backup during an AC

F

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

 

radio’s battery 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 un-

 

plugged 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 faceplate POWER button can also be used to engage Sleep Delay operation (see page 16).

Selecting the Radio Bands

1.Pressing the FM/AM button cycles through two banks of FM station presets, and one bank of AM station presets. You can store eight FM stations in the Preset bank FM1, eight different FM stations in Preset bank FM2, and eight AM stations in the Preset bank AM (see H).

2.If you switch from another mode to FM/AM, the radio will return to the last Preset bank used (from Standby, CD, PLAYER or from the AUX input). Pressing the FM/AM button during FM/AM operation selects the next present bank (FM1, FM2, or AM).

Tuning Stations

Autotune Method 1: Press the SEEK button (remote or radio face) to automatically find the next station or higher frequency (see I).

Autotune Method 2: Press and hold either TRACK/

TUNE/ADJ button to seek the next station (the button seeks down, the button seeks up) (see J).

Manual Tune: To find a specific frequency, tap the appropriate TRACK/TUNE/ADJ button ( or ).

Storing Stations in PRESET Banks

Press the FM/AM button to choose the desired Preset bank (FM1, FM2, AM) radio band. Tune to the desired station. Press and hold the desired PRESET button until a short tone is heard. The station is stored (see K).

When an FM frequency is stored on a Preset, the current Stereo/ Wide/Mono and RDS Text setting is also stored. When the Preset is tapped, the stored setting will override the JOG menu setting. Storing a weak FM stereo station in MONO will insure cleaner reproduction under varying reception conditions. You can also elect to store FM stations with RDS text you do not wish to see in STATIC or NO TEXT mode.
