The desktop trifecta
Some people have alarm clocks. Some people have alarm clock radios. But you, you have a desktop audio system. The TSX-130 from Yamaha. You could wake up to the sound of the local daily morning show, or you could wake up to your favorite album, whether from CD or your iPod. Combining an integrated iPod dock, a built-in CD player, an FM radio tuner, and a USB port for MP3 and WMA portable audio players, the TSX-130 offers a complete audio experience. Oh, yeah, and it's an alarm clock too.
It's made for your iPod
With its built-in iPod dock, Yamaha's TSX-130 is specifically designed to work with your dock-compatible iPod portable music player. Not only does the TSX-130's iPod dock allow your quick and easy access to all your digital tunes, but it also charges your iPod while it's in the dock.
CD x 3
This simple equation tells you that the TSX-130 desktop audio system's single-disc CD player supports playback of three CD formats: CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
USB, MP3, WMA . . . Aghhh, the acronyms
It's true. Today's world of A/V electronics is heavily laden with acronyms. While discussing the Yamaha TSX-130, we've already mentioned CD, CD-R, and CD-RW, but here are three more important acronyms that make this desktop audio system stand out: USB, MP3, and WMA. Thanks to the TSX-130's top-panel USB port, you can hook up any portable audio player that uses a USB connection. Combine this connection with support for MP3 and WMA audio files, and you have the ability to listen to tunes from a variety of devices.
Remember, it's a radio . . .
Sure, the TSX-130 is a CD player and an iPod dock, but it's an FM radio, too. And thanks to its FM station-preset capability, you can set up to 30 of your favorite FM radio stations for fast tuning.
. . . and an alarm clock, too.
Wake up to your favorite music, no matter the source. The TSX-130's built-in alarm clock gives you the option of waking up to a standard "beeping" alarm, or to music from the radio, a CD, or your iPod or MP3 player.
And driving it all . . .
The TSX-130 serves up your favorite CD, iPod, MP3, and radio with its two, full-range, 3.5" speakers, each powered by 15W. Further, bass-reflex porting in the rear enhances this desktop audio system's bass dispersion.
