Weekday/ weekend 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 features saves you 
from the hassle of fiddling with different alarm 
times every single night.
Auto time synnchronization
With the automatic time setting function in 
your clock radio, you do not ever have to set 
the time. The clock synchronizes 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 synchronizations 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 optimize the low frequency roll-off 
of the system. The result is deeper controlled 
bass and lower distortion. The system works 
by resonating 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 whole new dimension of deep bass.
DAB and FM compatible
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) digital radio 
is, on top of FM analog transmission, a new way 
of broadcasting radio 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 be find. With DAB 
digital stations there are no frequencies to 
remember, and sets are tuned by station name, 
so there is no returning on the move.
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.
