selectable voice feedback for anything
from the time, to your alarm settings to
the full set-up of the radio – it can even
spell out DAB scrolling text. And it’s easy
to adjust the amount of voice feedback
using the dedicated iVOX button.

Enhanced touch-sensitive SnoozeHandle
tells you the time, tells you your alarm
settings, snoozes the alarm and lights
the display at night to see the time.

FEATURES

l

Easy-to-read full-screen graphical display.

l

Two independent alarms mean you can have different alarms for you and your partner,
different alarm settings for weekdays or weekends, or set a backup alarm just in case
you sleep through the first. Alarms can be set to a simple alarm tone or to different
stations so you can go to sleep to one station and wake up to another.

l

Touch-sensitive SnoozeHandle™ snoozes the alarm and indicates time and alarm settings
with one or two taps.

l

Sleep button switches SONUS-1XToff automatically after 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes.
Set the alarm as well and you can fall asleep to one station and wake up to another.

l

Clock is automatically updated from the broadcast DAB time signal, so you don’t have to
set it or worry about resetting it when the clocks go forward or back.

l

Nine record timers allow you to record your favourite radio shows to a separate device.
For timed recording you’ll need a recorder with an optical input that supports sync-record,
such as a MiniDisc or CD-R recorder, or a recorder with a timer of its own.

l

USB connector enables you to keep your SONUS-1XTup to date by downloading software
upgrades from an internet-connected PC.

l

Optional additional XT-1 speaker available for stereo output.
