The iPod dock itself is a proprietary module designed to work only with the Radio 745i. What's nice is that the iPod dock audio connector is a standard 1/8-inch stereo jack, so it will work with any audio source that has a headphone jack or a line output-a satellite radio or a computer, say-so long as you provide your own matching patch cable. The two-jack connector for the iPod dock is also nearby-one for power, one for audio. If you're looking to pull in some distant radio stations, you can attach the included external AM (1/8-inch) and FM (RF screw-type) antennas to the rear panel, or fashion your own to boost the signals. A standard 9-volt battery (inserted on the underside) sustains the clock, the alarm, and the radio presets during power disruptions of as long as 48 hours-we unplugged the 745i for 30 minutes without losing a thing. Snooze, meanwhile, can be preset to intervals of 5 to 22 minutes, depending on your personal level of morning procrastination. So, you can have your iPod lull you to sleep with the volume set to 3 (the sleep timer can be set at intervals from 15 to 120 minutes), but be guaranteed to be awakened at a dream-ending 15. But this is one of the few alarm systems we've seen that also lets you lock in the volume setting of each alarm, so it can be as loud or subtle as you like in the morning, regardless of what the volume level was when you turned it off. Each of the two alarms can be set to wake to an alarm tone or to any one of the AM/FM radio presets (but you can't wake to the iPod). (The display can be set to display the text as static or scrolling, or can be turned off altogether.)Īlarm functionality isn't usually notable, but the Cambridge 745i offers some subtle flexibility that's worthy of its luxurious price tag. The Cambridge tuner supports RDS (Radio Data Service), so the readout offers call-letter and song information from stations that support it. The right set of buttons offers a choice of source (AM, FM, iPod, CD, or front auxiliary), as well as up/down radio tuning there's a Seek function for jumping from station to station as well. The left set of buttons are the radio presets-just depress one of them while on the station of your choice, and it's saved to one of the three 'bands' (FM1, FM2, or AM). Using the jog dial, the audio output can be set to Stereo, Mono, or 'Wide,' which attempts to simulate stereo separation beyond the seven inches or so of space between the front speakers. The speakers are magnetically shielded, so they can be placed near a TV or any other sensitive device with impunity. Turning the knobs to max, I can hear a faint clicking noise (very quiet, only if I put my ear next to it) but im not sure if that'd be the driver or the amp components inside.The 745i crams a 2.1-speaker array into its comparatively tiny frame-two front drivers, and a downward-firing woofer for added bass. Green light lights up when it detects a signal in auto mode, and connecting directly to the sub from a 3.5mm audio cable to RCA jacks can produce some audio I have tried the sub out to mono in with the sub cable the unit came with, and with an old RCA cable, and even wiring into the left and right speaker level inputs (not both at the same time of course), and still no dice, but it passes through to the center channel speaker just fine. I also ordered some Sony SSCS5 speakers for my left and right from Bestbuy online open box for $88 but they won't be here til later next week, but I started testing the stuff I do have today and like the title says, I can't get sound out of the subwoofer :(

Hi there, I'm in the process of setting up a 3.1 system on my work desk and just picked up the sub and center channel (a Samsung PS CA200PE, next to no info about that online but that works fine) yesterday at a local goodwill for $18, and plan on using it with an old Technics sa-ex400 5.1 AV receiver my parents used to use.
