Customer Review

This device has in my rural area a very bad reception. Tuning works well, but many cases, noise and rustling that radio listening is not fun. That was my VHF radio also. Sources of interference such as power lines, heaters, etc. can I exclude.

In AUX mode, the device buzzes

The manual could be improved. When is set by default 55:55 when setting the alarm time, one may wonder, what kind of display it is here. Time? Start time in hours: minutes? You get out only by trial and error, the Bedinungsanleitung loses about a word.

The same applies to Weckintervall. Here the menu nothing is specified by default. If you do not get the idea to press the Option key on suspected nothing is selected and the thing did not awaken. Among the other menu items an option is always pre-selected, why not here?

The sound quality is lousy, the switches make the boorish impression of a '70s radio from GDR production.

Due to the bad reception I use the clock radio from now on only with the USB function. But as a simple speaker for smartphone / MP3 player it is too expensive. Bad buy!
