"Portable music players today are remarkable devices and this one is truly versatile. The Kaito SoundByte combines AM, FM, Weather, MP3 player, and digital recorder — all in one palm-sized unit that is completely rechargeable. I am really impressed by the features of the SoundByte and it weighs next to nothing in my shirt pocket. Try it risk-free for yourself and I think you'll agree."
— Richard

The slim, stylish SoundByte is as portable as your favorite MP3 player with an abundance of functions and features to make it an outstanding portable player of choice.

Measuring just 4.25" x 2.75" x 0.5" and weighing about 4 oz (with rechargeable battery), the SoundByte synthesized radio picks up a wide range of broadcasts including AM and FM, plus instant local weather reports from one of 7 NOAA channels beamed via the National Weather Service. Tune into stations by traditional tuning knob, automated tuning (ATS), or accessing one of 132 programmable memories. Thanks to digital signal processing, the SoundByte provides excellent sensitivity and selectivity — resulting in clear, distortion-free sound with minimal noise or drifting from its built-in 50 mm speaker.

Beyond radio, the SoundByte doubles as an ultra-light MP3 player/digital recorder with 2 GB flash memory capacity. Just download selected music from your computer via USB and enjoy through the included stereo earphones. Or choose auto-record mode and record any radio program at a pre-determined time. It can also be used as a built-in voice recorder with one-touch record function for memos and to-do lists. Stores up to 140 hours of radio programs.

Play your SoundByte for hours, and then recharge it via mini-USB cable that connects to any USB port on your computer. A dual voltage wall adapter for domestic and overseas charging is also included and makes the player an ideal travel companion.

Other features include alarm clock with date, sleep timer, countdown timer, battery level indicator, digital volume control, 3.5 mm stereo earphone port, 13" telescoping antenna, key lock, tilt-back stand, and strap connection port.

Complete package includes the SoundByte Radio/MP3 Player/Digital Recorder, 800 mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery, dual-voltage wall adapter, mini-USB 2.0 cable, stereo earphones, carrying pouch, and user guide.

Lighten your load and carry the only shirt-pocket portable player that offers more features per ounce and is priced far less than other comparable players today. Just choose your music — the SoundByte delivers!
