Clock radio for iPhone/iPod
DAB
Highlights
Dual alarm
Designed with modern day lifestyles in mind,
this clock radio has a dual alarm feature,
allowing you to set different alarm times for
weekdays and weekends or even vary the
alarm settings for couples. The alarm settings
can be tailored for the same alarm times for
the entire week from Monday to Sunday. Or
you can set the alarm for an early start on
weekdays from Monday to Friday, and lazy lie-
ins for Saturday and Sundays. Whichever you
choose, this convenient feature saves you from
the hassle of fiddling with different alarm times
every single night.
Auto time synchronisation
With the automatic time setting function in
your clock radio, you do not ever have to set
the time. The clock synchronises with radio
signals automatically, even when it is switched
off. It updates itself within one minute when
there is an immediate need for adjustment, and
makes routine synchronisations with radio
signals to ensure it keeps accurate time always.
From the first time you take the clock radio
out of the box, to the time a power outage
occurs, you can depend on your Philips
product to give you the right time, fuss-free
and reliably.
Bass Reflex Speaker System
Bass Reflex Speaker System delivers a deep
bass experience from a compact loudspeaker
box system. It differs from a conventional
loudspeaker box system in the addition of a
bass pipe that is acoustically aligned to the
woofer to optimise the low frequency roll-off
of the system. The result is deeper controlled
bass and lower distortion. The system works
by causing the air mass in the bass pipe to
vibrate like a conventional woofer. Combined
with the response of the woofer, the system
extends the overall low frequency sounds to
create a completely new dimension of deep
bass.
DAB and FM compatible
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) digital radio
is a new way of broadcasting radio, in addition
to FM analogue transmission, via a network of
terrestrial transmitters. It provides listeners
with more choices and information delivered
in clear, crackle-free sound quality. The
technology allows the receiver to lock on to
the strongest signal it can find. With DAB
DCB242/05
digital stations there are no frequencies to
remember, and sets are tuned by station name,
so there is no retuning on the move.
Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of
pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classical controls
you can use to optimise the frequency ranges
for different musical styles. Each mode uses
graphic equalizing technology to automatically
adjust the sound balance and enhance the most
important sound frequencies in your chosen
music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control
makes it easy for you get the most out of your
music by precisely adjusting the sound balance
to match the type of music you are playing.
Dynamic Bass Boost
Dynamic Bass Boost maximises your music
enjoyment by emphasising the bass content of
the music throughout the range of volume
settings - from low to high – at the touch of a
button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually
get lost when the volume is set at a low level.
To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be
switched on to boost bass levels, so you can
enjoy consistent sound even when you turn
down the volume.
