tunes
Gentle wake
Start your day right by waking up gently to a
gradually escalating alarm volume. Normal
alarm sounds with a preset volume are either
too low to wake you up or are so
uncomfortably loud that you are rudely jolted
awake. Choose to wake up to your favorite
music, radio station or buzzer alarm. Gentle
wake's alarm volume gradually increases from
subtly low to reasonably high in order to gently
rouse you.
MP3 Link
The MP3 link connectivity allows direct
playback of MP3 content from portable media
players. Besides the benefit of enjoying your
favorite music in the superior sound quality
delivered by the audio system, the MP3 link is
also extremely convenient as all you have to do
is to plug your portable MP3 player to the
audio system.
10W RMS
This Philips music system has 10W RMS total
output power. RMS refers to Root Mean
DC290/37
Square which is a typical measurement of audio
power, or rather, the electrical power
transferred from an audio amplifier to a
loudspeaker, which is measured in watts. The
amount of electrical power delivered to the
loudspeaker and its sensitivity determines the
sound power that is generated. The higher the
wattage, the better the sound power emitted
by the speaker.
Digital Sound Control
Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of
pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classic 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 maximizes your music
enjoyment by emphasizing 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.
