Cypress 745 manual Introduction, Radio Data Service RDS FM station text CD-text

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 8 AM 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.

A front 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).
