Chronosette-276  (120-1584)        Features            Faxback Doc. # 3767 
 
The Chronosette-276 AM/FM Clock Radio offers you all the features of a 
dual alarm clock, an AM/FM stereo radio, and a tape player/recorder in one 
convenient package.  You can record from the radio in mono or stereo, or 
you can make live stereo recordings using the built-in microphone. 
 
Other features include: 
 
               Lighted Dial - makes tuning easy, even in low light. 
 
Fluorescent Digital Display - makes the clock easy to read. 
 
                 Dual Alarm - lets you set two different alarm times. 
 
              Sleep Feature - plays the radio or tape for up to 59 minutes 
                              before it automatically shuts off. 
 
               Snooze Timer - temporarily silences the buzzer, radio, or 
                              tape alarm so it sounds again in about 
                              7 minutes. 
 
            Back-Up Battery - keeps the clock and alarm running for up to 
                              8 hours if power is interrupted. 
 
           Battery Sentinel - lets you know when it is time to replace the 
                              back-up battery. 
 
          One Button Record - records with the press of a single button. 
 
             Full Auto-Stop - saves battery power and reduces tape wear by 
                              turning off the motor and releasing the 
                              tape-handling parts when the tape reaches 
                              its end. 
 
            Beat-Cut Switch - reduces interference when you record from a 
                              live AM radio broadcast. 
 
 External Antenna Terminals - let you connect an external FM antenna for 
                              optimum reception. 
 
     Variable Alarm Control - sets the alarm volume to a comfortable 
                              level.
