INTRODUCTION

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 brightness 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 previously 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).

GETTING STARTED

Remove the SoundWorks Radio (See A) from its protective 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 connecter of the rear panel. Set the FM antenna switch to EXT (external) .

Tone

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 wakeup) 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.
