Customer Review

Carefully packed by Philips, wrapped each of the parts in protective films.

Set up and prepare
without problems. Helpful to note was in other reviews that both display and CD tray are covered with a protective film. With a little patience I had success.
The wire antenna is dispensable in my apartment, fortunately the receiver comes with a cable connector.
The two speakers need me no tens meters be placed by the receiving portion, and in view of the planned volumes in the bedroom the defendants of some reviewers thin speaker cables are dispensable - unlike "big" stereos are arm-thick cables completely excessive demands. So cable ok, they are quickly connected with cable clamps. Only the polarity is observed.
Inserting the batteries in the remote control, that's about it.
Design front parts are meticulously crafted and chic, but my rust-red liked better parts. Remove the bright parts with some caution and put the others - fits cleanly and nothing wobbles. A real eye-catcher! Theroretisch it were even without front panels, see the two two-way speakers from class - but because bother me since then but the exposed fastening bolts on all three housing parts.

Commissioning
Station search and automatic station Keys: perfectly and quickly.
By the way it is with the handy remote control easily possible to directly select the individual stations via numerical input, so it's not necessary, "durchzukurbeln" the sender places gradually.
Setting the time - the time goes by the way lost once it is disconnected from the network, but I can live with my device. (The transmitter assignment is retained against it!)

Radio reception
Clean receiver and surprising large signal processing of cable reception. Full marks.

CD mode
No problems, barely audible running noises. Full marks.

USB
No Problem. However, here there is still potential for Philips: Why does the device not only remembers the location (directory, title), where it was turned off or a different operating mode has been selected? With a larger collection so you have to work their way through to the new application again on directory traversal and file indexing. Annoying, but I can live with it. Also, I do not hear any audio books ...

Bluetooth connection to your smartphone
No problems, perfect score.

Special Features
Sleep Timer - several times up to 120 min. Fits.
Awaken with selectable Source: Fits and works completely crack-free. The volume of zero runs starting up until the preselected alarm volume - a wonderful treat. Incidentally, the unit goes to the timer start not back out - unlike the me known clock radios. So consciously exhibit a button or remote control.

Sound
A clear favorite discipline: the two-way speakers excellent potter to Zimmerlautsärke because can not keep up "great" plant each. The sound is m. E. so good that I (as well as balance control) did not miss Equaliser. The selectable with remote sound sets pass me out completely. No disruptive coloration or "topfiger sound" simply amazing.
I do not expect the volume as in my big plants, with their three-digit output power wattages and microwave ovens large speakers! But what I hear with the small Philps in the bedroom, is simply fascinating.

In short: I never again give her - and put their long life.
