INTRODUCTION
The people at Cambridge SoundWorks hope you enjoy
your new high-performance SoundWorks Radio CD
740. 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. An integral,
slot-load disc player plays audio CDs and MP3 files on
CD-ROM. The large 32-character display and full-func-
tion remote makes radio operation easy from across
the room.
The SoundWorks Radio CD 740 displays three types of
supplementary text:
• Radio Data Service (RDS) FM station text
• CD-text
• “ID3” text stored in most MP3 files.
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 accurately many years. By inserting a
9V battery (not supplied), a user ensures that an acti-
vated wakeup function will work even during a power
outage.
Front and rear inputs allow easy connection of audio
program sources (like portable MP3 and cassette
players). 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).

ADDENDA: The following entries supplement or correct information in the User Manual,
or describe features added after the User Manual was completed.
CD RESET/EJECT
Press hold the CD Eject button for six seconds. This
will force a CD player eject.

CD Play and the POWER button: Pressing the
POWER button during disc play causes the Radio CD
to enter STANDBY track resume mode. Pressing the
POWER button again resumes play at exactly the same
location on the disc (audio CD or CD-ROM).
Preset 4 “FOLDER” feature: The SoundWorks Radio
CD 740 recognizes folders at the Top Level of a CDROM. Pressing Preset 4 “FOLDER” during CD-ROM
play will show the first 16 letters of the name of the
folder containing the active MP3 track. TOP LEVEL is
displayed if the file is not inside a folder.
CD-ROM PREP ARA TION
Maximum character length of folder names
Only the first 16 characters of a folder name are
displayed. Folder names must be under 30 characters
for proper track numbering on CD-ROM.
Maximum number of individual MP3 files supported
on a CD-ROM
295 files. If the number of MP3 files on the CD-ROM
exceeds 295, the folder name display , folder sequence
and MP3 file play sequence will be unpredictable.
Maximum folders supported on a CD-ROM
29 folders.
Sequence of MP3 file play on a CD-ROM
The SoundWorks Radio CD 740 recognizes the first
8 characters of an MP3 filename to determine play
sequence. Be sure to number your MP3 filenames from
the beginning of the filename. Most CD-ROM burning
programs support automatic numbering at the start of
filenames when burning CD-ROMs.
Multi-session CD-ROM: The SoundWorks Radio CD
740 will recognize just the first session of a CD-ROM.
Burn complete CD-ROMs for use with the SoundWorks
Radio CD 740.
RADIO PRESET FEA TURES
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
settings 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 in STATIC TEXT or
NO TEXT mode if you don’t want to see that station’s
RDS text.
ALARM ADJUSTMENT FEATURES
To wake to a specific audio CD track: Insert an audio
CD into the radio and press Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 for two
seconds to enter an Alarm Adjustment session. During
the Alarm Adjustment session, first press the CD Play/
Pause button to select Wake to CD. Then use the
Track/Tune buttons on the Radio CD faceplate to select
which track you would like to play. During alarm activation, the radio will start CD play from your selected track
and continue playing the CD tracks in sequence.
To wake to a specific MP3 file on a CD-ROM: The
SoundWorks Radio CD 740 also lets you select an MP3
file (or track) on a CD-ROM for wakeup using the Track/
Tune button. During an Alarm Activation session, a
specific MP3 file for wakeup is selected from the
faceplate T rack/Tune buttons. A simplified scheme for
track selection a CD-ROM is supported. All MP3 files on
a disc are represented by a number that corresponds to
the play sequence of the disc’s MP3 files in Play All
mode. Tracks at the top level of the disc are numbered
first followed by the tracks in the first folder, then the
second folder and so on.

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.
Connect the power 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 anten-
na. 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 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 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
(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 wake up time setting, 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 faceplate 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, AM, CD or 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.

Listening To External Sound sources
If you have an external audio source you always want
to keep connected to the SoundWorks Radio CD, like
a desktop cassette player, connect it to the AUX input
on the rear panel (See P). Press the AUX button on the
front panel or remote control to select this input
(See Q).
If you have an external audio program source you
occasionally want to connect to the Radio CD, like a
portable MP3 player, connect it to the AUX-F input on
the front panel (See Q). This input overrides the rear
AUX input. The AUX button on the front panel or
remote control selects this input (See R).
Mixing Input/Record Output
You may want to mix the sound from an audio program
source (computer audio output, for instance) with the
other Radio CD audio sources (FM, AM, Disc, Aux).
Connect the audio source to the MIXING INPUT on the
rear panel (See S). The program source will be mixed
with the currently selected Radio CD program source.
The audio source connected to the Mixing Input must
have a level control if you wish to adjust the balance
between the Radio CD program source and the Mixing
Input audio source.
