Features
32-Character Display: The
Cambridge SoundWorks Radio CD 745I has a 3-7/8" x 7/8", 32-character
(two lines of 16-characters each), light-blue
LED display. The display's built-in light sensor detects the amount of ambient
light in the room and automatically dims or brightens the display. In addition
to normal time, alarm, and CD and radio display information, the radio can decode and
display Radio Data Service data (typically program or music titles) transmitted
by some FM stations as well as CD-text and ID3 text stored on most MP3 and WMA
files.
iPod Dock: The SoundWorks Radio
CD 745i comes supplied with an iPod dock and two iPod dock adapters to playback
your iPod through the unit. The iPod dock connects to the CD 745i via a 3.5mm
minijack audio input and 2.5mm minijack power output on its rear panel. The iPod
dock is compatible with iPod nano, iPod mini, and iPod video with dock
connection. Your iPod will charge while connected to the iPod dock and when the
SoundWorks radio is on. You can use the CD 745i's supplied wireless remote to
control your iPod or you can still use your iPod's controls. The iPod dock also
features a composite and s-video output so you can watch video or playback
photos from your iPod on your TV or monitor. In addition to docking your iPod,
the iPod dock also has a slot to rest the supplied remote control. Dock

unit will decode and display CD text and MP3 ID3 tags that may be included on
the discs. The CD Info button lets you cycle through disc playing time readouts
(CD track/disc time elapsed, CD track/disc time remaining, MP3 file time
elapsed). During MP3 play, the unit supports 30-300kbps and variable data rates,
and will play up to a total of 295 files, 29 folders, and 99 files per folder.

same location. During MP3/WMA play only, the unit can resume play from the beginning
of the current folder when the stop button is pressed twice. The unit will

features two Autotune methods, one Manual tune method, 16 FM presets
and 8 AM presets. Autotune Method 1 is a seek tuning method, activated by
pressing the "Seek" button on the radio or remote. The radio
automatically searches for the next listenable station of higher frequency.
Autotune Method 2, another seek tuning method, lets you automatically search the
AM or FM band in either direction. You can manually search either band for a
