Customer Review

I would like to align themselves with the positive points of the previous reviews (up to 25.12.2012).
However, there are for my taste still some room for improvement, which could be resolved but for the most part quickly and easily with a firmware update.

1. The firmware / software (version V2.2.14) is partly sloppy programmed

1.1 The snooze function (Sleep) only works on network operation; The unit switches off after the set time.
In battery mode flashes just before the timing for about 3 seconds of Note asleep! on without the power goes off after that.

1.2 In the battery loses the built-in clock time and date. This is - depending on the settings under System Preferences - automatically updated via DAB, internet or FM. However, this only works if after switching on the same reception mode (FM / DAB / Internet) is selected, which is specified in System Preferences as a source for the automatic time update. Otherwise, the clock displays in battery mode continuously 00.00.

1.3 You can set the brightness separately for the normal mode and the standby mode to the levels 0/1/2/3. Where zero is really zero, that is, even in absolute darkness, nothing is displayed. In normal mode, the zero level should not be offered. If you select two modes namely zero (and can happen, because the wheel happy to jump one step at a pressing and you have chosen the wrong option ...), my problem: One can (in black type on no longer navigate black background).
Tip, if it's happened again: Menu with a digital camera with flash from an angle in which the flash is not reflected in the display, take a picture. On the photo you can then decipher the PC, in which menu you are in and so with multiple photos to the point system setting "Brightness" normal (or default) durchhangeln.

1.4 In the (German) menu item Software update will be next to Auto Update verifique option agora offered. The latter is Portuguese (for which, incidentally, does not have a voice menu is available) and is now examine.

1.5 In Italian menu is a typo. Instead software they say sofwtare.

1.6 incomprehensible and unnecessary abbreviations. Behind the menu item cuts invalid hides deleting no longer available stations from the station list. In Italian language menu you have chosen a longer text with marquee for this menu item.

1.7 Brightness and Contrast is used in all language menu. For a translation in brightness and contrast well there was no time.

2. Inserting the batteries is only possible with considerable force

3. ticker lubricates / blurred something on display

If the points are 1.1 and 1.3 eliminated, I would give 4 points to the device.
