positive:
- Attractive appearance (at least from afar), blue display
- Radio, CD and USB port (thus are MP3 directly from a USB stick playable!)
- Remote control (range and reception angles are ok)
- Acceptable sound for a kitchen radio
- On-time (or clock) programmable sleep timer function available
negative:
- At second glance, and after some time (in normal use) the cheap processing noticeable. On display is the marking film of each key triggers, a key is stuck, or can no longer be operated.
- Radio reception with the supplied standard FM antenna is very poor. Only stations with very high transmission power (such as Antenne Bayern, Bavaria 3) are always heard with clarity, with other noise is always doing, regardless of location.
- When playing MP3 via the USB stick it always comes back to mistakes, ie after the end of the song the radio starts an approximately 10-second sequence from the middle of the song. Why this is so, the manual can not explain.
- Contrast the display could be larger and can not be adjusted. The clock is displayed when radio is switched off) is difficult to read from a distance.
Conclusion:
I kept the radio because playing CDs, what was most important for me is working properly.
Again I would like to receive this radio but do not buy. If you want to have the features of Sound Masters, it is better to invest a little more money and buy a higher quality device.
