A Bluetooth- and iPhone-friendly compact receiver
Need a compact receiver to liven up your dorm room, office, or bedroom? Then check out the TEAC CR-H260i. With a built-in CD player and a host of other listening options, connect this receiver to a pair of bookshelf speakers and start discovering the many ways to get the music started. You're not limited to just discs with this versatile machine. If you have digital music files on your Bluetooth-compatible smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can stream them wirelessly to the Bluetooth-enabled CR-H260i. If you're an Apple user, you can also connect your iPod®, iPhone®, or iPad® to the front-panel USB port. Then sit back and control your music with the receiver's remote while your device charges.
More options for music
Have some USB thumb drives sitting around? Then load them up with MP3s and pop one into the CR-H260i's USB port to start listening. Or maybe you have some spare SD memory cards in a drawer somewhere. That's one more way to play digital music through this receiver, thanks to its front-panel SD card slot. Or you can always use the AM/FM tuner to dial in local radio stations, saving up to 45 presets.
There's a time for music, and a time for sleep
The built-in tuner, USB input, and CD player can all be used with the CR-H260i's timer feature. This lets you set specific times to power on and off the receiver. Use it like an alarm clock in the morning with your iPod — that'll charge your player overnight before waking you with something upbeat in the morning. Or use the sleep timer at night so you can drift off to your favorite mellow tunes without leaving the receiver running all night.
