Please note: If the alarm is not stopped, the radio will automatically switch into Standby mode after an hour. If no signal is received for DAB or FM radio for the alarm, the radio alarm will sound with the buzzer tone. Sleep Timer Settings Preset: If digital or FM radio is selected as your alarm tone, your last listened to station on this mode or one of your preset favourites can be set as your alarm tone. Volume: Use the Navigation dial or Up/Down buttons on the remote to scroll to the desired alarm sounding volume. Select the volume by pressing down the dial or the OK button. Protect the power from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. When in its standby mode the unit displays the time, which can be set manually or in sync with a local DAB station. There’s an alarm that can wake you to the radio, a CD or USB drive, or a beeping sound, and a sleep timer which can be set to enter standby after 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 or 90 minutes, from any source.

The other thing to consider is if you need an integrated CD player (one with a DAC built-in) or a CD transport (no DAC inside). Transports such as the Cambridge Audio CXC will need to use either a standalone DAC or the one in your stereo amplifier to handle the digital-to-analogue conversion before the sound reaches your speakers. The upshot of a CD transport? It puts all its concentration and skills on reading the CD disc. The downside is you'll need to make sure you buy or already have an appropriately skilled DAC to connect it to. The FM tuner is similarly equipped in terms of its tuning modes, with both automatic and manual tuning offered. It does support RDS (radio data system) and can display radio text, frequency, program type, audio type and the time / date as provided by the broadcaster. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

We like the tactility of the swivelling transparent CD cover on the top; it’s made of toughened acrylic and feels good to use. The SA-C600 proves an admirably consistent performer across the board, producing musically compelling results with CDs as well as high-res files across our network.

time. The alarm will now snooze for the selected minutes. Cancel snooze by pressing the Power dial or Power button on the remote control. The Cyrus CD t is one of the best CD transports you can get, regardless of price. It's a CD transport, rather than a CD player, meaning it will simply read the data on the disc. You'll need a standalone DAC to handle all the digital-to-analogue conversion. What does all that mean? It makes your music sound great. It's full of rhythm and drive. It's precise, clean and delivers for dynamics at every inch of the spectrum. Stereo imaging is focused and expansive, and there are even a few digital filters to tweak the sound to your tastes. Dispose of used electrical products and batteries safely according to your local authority and regulations. The Technics SA-C600 is an elegant all-in-one system with extensive streaming and connectivity (even an MM phono stage) that you just have to add speakers to – and it also has a talented CD player.When the alarm is sounding, snooze the alarm by pressing the Snooze/ Sleep button on the remote control (Rem.13) multiple times to scroll through 5/10/15/20 minutes snooze But there are differences under the hood. The Oakington has a self-contained power supply, the DAB500 is powered by a 12V 2A wall wart. There are no power output specifications, but we can make a reasonable assumption. 12 volts at 2A gives us 24W, so assuming a worst-case system power draw of about 5 to 7W in CD mode, and 1 or 2 watts of reserve headroom, we get a power output of 6 to 9.5W per channel. That is more than sufficient with small, efficient single-driver loudspeakers. It is built with proper speaker enclosures which are reflex ported at the rear and sounds every bit as powerful and loud as the Oakington, if not a little better. The list below includes both fully integrated CD players, which have a digital-to-analogue converter built in, and CD transports, which can only read the data on the disc and require an external DAC to work. If you want to give your CD collection a fresh spin and are looking for the best disc player to buy, you'll find multiple suggestions for both here, from budget to high-end recommendations.

Set Timezone: Select your time zone to set the correct time on the unit. Daylight savings: Select whether you would like daylight savings for automatic adjustment between summer time and winter time switched on or off. The auto scan function can optionally filter out weak signals or perform a scan for all available broadcasting signals. The tuner automatically switches between stereo and monaural reception, but you can override this manually if desired. There are up to 30 presets to store FM stations, and unlike the DAB tuner they can be accessed from the front of the unit as well as via the remote control. Like the Oakcastle HiFi200, the DAB500 implements a sleep timer and alarm. Not just one, but two – which can be set by regularity (once, weekends or weekdays), and to sound a buzzer or wake to the radio. You can’t wake to a CD, Bluetooth or the AUX input. You do get a snooze function though, and a sleep timer which will put the radio into standby after 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. I presume they’re running the chips at the minimum 6V which would give the 5W RMS output power at around 0.02% distortion, which is quite respectable. This assumes the power supply has sufficient headroom, which given the included 9V wall wart is questionable. To set an alarm on your radio, select the ‘Alarm’ button on the remote control (Rem.2) or select the ‘Menu’ button on the unit. Select ‘Main Menu’ and select ‘Alarms’ to open alarm settings.After selecting the alarm setting, select Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 with the navigation dial (Ref. 6 ) or OK button on the remote (Rem.1 7 ) to begin setting the following alarm functions:

Select ‘Bluetooth’ on the main display screen by pressing ‘Power/Mode’ (Ref.2). Go to your device settings to connect your device to the radio via Bluetooth. The radio device will display as ‘Oakcastle DAB400’. Select this to connect and your radio should make a short sound, signalling that it has connected. You’ll be able to play and control your chosen audio on your paired device. DAB/DAB+Radio Presetting a Radio Station When you have found your desired station, hold down the ‘Preset’ button on the unit (Ref.5) or the ‘FAV’ button on the remote (Rem. 21 ) for 2-3 seconds to go to the ‘Save to Preset’ screen. Alternatively, if you want to save to preset number 1-99, press and hold the corresponding number on the remote control for 2-3 seconds. With the Navigation/OK dial (Ref. 6 ) or the remote, scroll through the available preset numbers you can save the station to – ones that have not got a station saved to them will display “[Not Set]”. Once the preset number has been located that you wish to save to, confirm your choice by pressing down the dial or the OK button on the remote (Rem.1 7 ). Once a station has been saved, the screen will display “Preset Stored” to show that it has been stored successfully. Recalling a Preset Radio Station To view your preset favourite stations, press the ‘Preset’ button on the unit (Ref.5) or the ‘FAV’ button on the remote (Rem. 21 ) to open ‘Recall from Preset’ settings. Do not hold down the button as this will open preset store rather than preset recall. Alternatively, recall preset numbers 1-99 by pressing the corresponding number on the remote (do not hold). When the ‘Recall from Preset’ options open, use the Navigation/OK dial (Ref. 6 ) or the remote to scroll through the preset stations saved. Once the chosen station you wish to play has been found, confirm your choice by pressing down the dial or the OK button on the remote (Rem.1 7 ) and the station will begin to play. FM Radio Settings Micro hi-fi systems haven’t quite attained ‘retro’ status yet, but they’re not exactly commonplace any more. They used to be sold in every major big-box retailer and even in most supermarkets, but the trend toward Bluetooth speakers, smart home audio and streaming have seen them disappear from the shelves. I looked at one of the last models by Philips in a recent repair. It was a perfect example of how every last bit of the cost possible had been cut, a typical example of the last of these kinds of system that were commonly available.
