Unpacking and Setting Up Your Horizon Solo XT

Carefully unpack Horizon Solo XT. If there is any sign of damage from transit, report it immediately to your

dealer and/or delivery service. Keep the shipping carton and packing materials for future use. Be sure to

keep your purchase receipt in a safe place, as it may be required for warranty purposes.

In the box you should  nd the Solo XT (with the antenna attached) and the power cord.

Placement

Your Horizon Solo XT will sound great just about anywhere. But if you put it near a wall or corner the bass

response will be enhanced. Blocking the bass port will result in a loss of performance.

Horizontal or Vertical Position

The Solo XT control panel can be rotated to allow for

horizontal or vertical use. If you want to change the

orientation of the radio, grasp the ring around the

control panel and turn it 90°.

About Station Presets

The Solo XT has 20 station presets. The presets can be used to store either FM or DAB stations. Because of

the way the Solo XT places stations in the presets you may want to plan how you store them. Here’s how it

works. The  rst station you store goes into Preset 1. The second station goes into Preset 2 and so on, up to 20

stations. If you remove a preset all the stations in presets above the one you removed, drop down a preset

position. The table below gives an example.

Preset # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

originally programmed stations FM 89.70 FM 90.95 FM 100.30 FM 104.95 DAB 211.648 DAB 217.088 DAB 222.064

after removing presets 2 and 6 FM 89.70 FM 100.30 FM 104.95 DAB 211.648 DAB 222.064

It may be helpful to put the presets in some logical order. You could put the FM presets in order of ascending

frequency. For example put 89.70 into Preset 1, 90.95 into Preset 2, 93.70 into Preset 3, etc. Or you could

assign presets on the basis of how often you listen to them. For example, your favorite station could go into

Preset 1, the next favorite into preset 2, etc.

10

Setting a Station Preset

1

Tune in the FM or DAB station you want to assign to a preset.

3

Press and hold the TUNE control for 3 seconds. The preset

indicator in the upper left corner of the display will light

indicating the station has been stored in the preset.

In this example FM station 104.75 has been assigned to preset 1.

Tuning in a Preset Station

The current time is displayed. Alarm 1 is set for wake to tone at 6:45 AM. Alarm 2 is set for wake to music and tone at

7:15 AM.

How the Alarms Work

Wake To Tone – The alarm tone sounds at a low volume then gradually increases to full volume.

Wake To Music – The radio station you selected is played at the volume level you selected with the Alarm

Setup menu.

Wake To Music and Tone – First, the radio station is played. Then, after 5 minutes the alarm tone begins to

delay is 60 minutes. The display shows the amount of “snooze time” remaining.

To check the remaining snooze time, touch the

metal trim ring. The display will show the amount of

snooze time remaining. Touching the metal trim ring

again while the snooze time is displayed increases

the snooze time to the next higher step – 10 minutes,

15 minutes, 20 minutes, etc. Each additional touch

increases the snooze time by 5 minutes.

speaker. If your headphones have the old-style large

1

/4-inch plug you will need an adapter.

Using Aux Inputs

Other audio equipment, such as an iPod or a portable CD player, can be connected to the Solo XT through

the rear panel Aux input. You will need a cable with a stereo mini plug on both ends. Select the Aux input

using the MODE/INFO control as described in the “Selecting Sources or Setup Options Functions” section of

this manual.

connector. This is the same as the connection point found on most laptop computers. Connect a computer

security cable between the Solo XT and a solid anchor point to help prevent theft of your Solo XT.

About Clock Memory

When power to the Solo XT is interrupted a special power component called a “super-cap” will keep the clock

functions active for a period of 24-48 hours. If the Solo XT is without power for a longer period of time you

may need to reset the clock when power is restored.

Desembalaje y preparación de la Horizon Solo XT

Desembale la Horizon Solo XT cuidadosamente. Si observa algún daño que haya ocurrido durante el

transporte, infórmelo inmediatamente a su vendedor y/o servicio de entrega. Conserve la caja y los

materiales de embalaje para uso futuro. Conserve el recibo de compra en un lugar seguro, ya que podría

necesitarlo para los  nes de la garantía.

Dentro de la caja encontrará la Solo XT (con la antena ya colocada) y el cable de alimentación.

Opciones de colocación

Su Horizon Solo XT tendrá un excelente sonido prácticamente en cualquier ubicación que la coloque. Sin

embargo, si coloca la radio cerca de un muro o de una esquina mejorará la respuesta de bajos. Si bloquea el

puerto de bajos provocará una pérdida de rendimiento.

Posición horizontal o vertical

El panel de control de la Solo XT puede rotar, lo que

permite utilizar la radio en posición horizontal o

vertical. Si desea cambiar la orientación de la radio

gire 90º el anillo que rodea el panel de control.

Simplemente conecte el cable de alimentación a la parte

posterior de la Solo XT y enchufe en un tomacorriente.

Antena

La Horizon Solo XT viene con una antena extensible

conectada a una salida que se encuentra en el panel

posterior.

Nota: Boston Acoustics ha hallado que cuando no se utiliza

la antena provista con el producto, la presencia de señales

fuertes puede interferir con el funcionamiento normal de la

radio.

Controles del panel delantero

Prácticamente todas las funciones de la Horizon Solo XT se operan usando los tres controles que se

encuentran en el panel delantero.

Encendido/Volumen – Controlados mediante la perilla de

mayor tamaño ubicada en la parte central inferior del panel

delantero.

Modo/Info (“Mode/Info”) – Para seleccionar la entrada que

desea utilizar o la función que desea programar.

Sintonizar (“Tune”) – Para sintonizar una nueva emisora.

Estos controles lógicos e intuitivos hacen que la Horizon

Solo XT sea muy fácil de utilizar. El modo de uso es igual

para todas las funciones. Una vez que aprenda a controlar

una de las funciones el resto será muy sencillo. Después que

haya comprendido cómo funcionan los controles es posible
