Hello Andy and all, 

Perhaps the Sonus 1-XT is not designed to receive an external signal, and any 
output received through that output is a Pure accident. . The continued Sonus 
station broadcast would imply this, wouldn't it? 

Furthermore, if the input/output connection you are making, while obviously 
working, is not the intention of the manufacturer, could internal electrical 
damage be occurring? 

The talking Pure Sonus 1-XT is no longer being produced, and the similar model, 
with no speech, presently available from Pure, with a choice of 2 different 
wood panels, Cherry or Walnut, is useable with patience and practice, but 
prepare for frustration/annoyance in waiting for it to move from a 
non-broadcasting station, down the station list, until it finds a broadcasting 
station. If your 1-XT dies, it can not be replaced. 

Paul Benson.

Well on mine, with the back looking at me, the mains plugs in at the very 
right, then coming left, is line out, I can plug my headphones in this socket, 
and the sound is delivered through both the headphones and the speaker. Next 
left is the headphone socket itself, that can also be used as a line out, and 
left most is what I find to be a line in, because when I plug my iPod in to it, 
the sound comes through the Sonus speaker, but so of course does the radio 
station that I was listening too.

Just to be sure we are talking about the same radio, I'm talking about the one 
that has the Ivocs speech built in, and comes in a wooden case with metal 
carrying handle that keeps telling me the flipping time when I touch it <smile>

  On my sonus, there are three sockets. They are the line out, the headphone 
socket and the socket for the additional stereo speaker. there is definitely no 
line in.

  Hi Jim - at least you and I know there is a line in, I've got my iPod playing 
through the Sonus speaker, only thing is, I can't stop the radio playing at the 
same time. Have you figured out how to do this -

    Hi Iain and Tom et al,

    Yes the line in port is next to the optical out, or is it in smile, port.

      I wasn't aware that the Sonus had a line in.

      Hi all -

      I want to play my iPod using the line in on the Sonus1, but can't get the 
radio to be in the on position without a station playing. I can go the the 
station list using the tuning dial, and when I come across a station that is 
announced as "off air" get a silent channel to use for listening to the iPod. 
This isn't very satisfactory for several reasons, and I'm sure there must be a 
way to simply connect the iPod to line in, and play it through the Sonus1 
speaker, but so far it has stumped me. So I need help please.

      Thanks -

      Andy
