The SYLVANIA SCR1986BT-AS is a versatile Bluetooth autoset clock radio with USB charging capabilities, designed to provide a range of audio and time-keeping functions. This device serves as a central hub for listening to FM radio, streaming music via Bluetooth, and connecting external audio devices through an AUX input. Its primary function as a clock radio is enhanced by an autoset feature, ensuring accurate time display upon initial plug-in, and a battery backup system to maintain time settings during power outages.
The core functionality of the SCR1986BT-AS revolves around its audio playback and time management features. As a clock radio, it automatically sets the time when plugged in, simplifying initial setup. Users can also manually adjust the time, including hours, minutes, and the day of the week. A crucial feature is the ability to select from seven different time zones, accommodating users across various regions. The device also incorporates a Daylight Saving Time (DST) function, allowing for a one-hour adjustment forward or backward with a simple button press.
For alarm functions, the unit supports two independent alarms, ALARM ONE and ALARM TWO. Users can set specific wake times, choose between a buzzer (bb) or FM radio (RAD) as the alarm sound, and select from three alarm modes: Everyday (1 to 7), Weekday (1 to 5), or Weekend (6 to 7). This flexibility allows for customized wake-up schedules. Alarms can be easily cancelled, and a Snooze button provides an additional 9 minutes of sleep before the alarm sounds again. The Power/Source button can also be used to turn off the alarm until its next scheduled activation.
In terms of audio, the SCR1986BT-AS offers multiple listening options. The built-in FM radio allows users to tune into their favorite stations. It features manual tuning and a scan function to find available stations. Up to 20 FM stations can be saved as presets, enabling quick access to preferred channels. The Bluetooth connectivity is a significant feature, allowing wireless streaming of audio from compatible devices. The pairing process is straightforward, involving pressing the PAIR BLUETOOTH / PLAY / PAUSE button and selecting the device from the Bluetooth settings of the external audio source. Once paired, users can control playback (play, pause, skip forward/backward) either from the connected Bluetooth device or directly from the unit's controls. For non-Bluetooth devices, an AUX IN jack provides a wired connection, allowing playback of audio from a wide range of external sources using a 3.5mm audio cable.
Beyond audio and time, the unit includes a USB charging port. This port allows users to charge their mobile devices, although it's important to note that it has a maximum charging capacity of 1000mA, making it unsuitable for charging iPads.
The SCR1986BT-AS is designed for user-friendly operation, with clearly labeled controls on the top panel. The front display provides essential information, including the current time, radio frequency, and alarm indicators.
The unit's compact design makes it suitable for placement on a nightstand, desk, or shelf. The FM antenna is built-in, but its position can be adjusted to optimize radio reception. The USB charging port is located on the rear, along with the DC power jack and AUX IN jack, keeping the front panel clean and focused on display and primary controls.
Maintenance of the SCR1986BT-AS is minimal, primarily focusing on power supply and battery replacement.
The SYLVANIA SCR1986BT-AS is designed as a reliable and convenient device for everyday use, combining essential clock radio functions with modern audio streaming and charging capabilities.
