Philips DTB297/10
Great sound, looks great BUT....
We do like this product especially Bluetooth connection from iPod is great and very good sound. However, tuning instructions and doing presets is annoying and difficult to say the very least!! Extremely frustrating as instructions are NOT clear at all as it puts a presumption there that it will do these presets for you on auto. no it doesn't and have to manually do each one. Trying to do it manually requires a masters degree as it does not automatically move along to next empty preset so have to move past the already preset stations before hitt...Read more
ing OK button. Had to ring Phillips for tech help and even then they weren't sure why it wasn't setting properly. After about a total of several hours over 3 weeks I believe finally figured it out!! So basically to select a DAB station DONT use the auto tune to do presets but manually press Tunning +/- button to get that station you like. Then press scan/prog button for 2 secs, then press the Preset +/- button to get empty slot and then press OK and it will come up STORED for Empty 1 preset. Now to do the second preset etc by repeating the steps BUT make sure you press the preset button to go past stored DAB stations that are displayed on screen Otherwise you'll keep storing on the first preset! Once you find the next EMPTY preset, then press OK to show STORED and your fav station you are LISTENING to at the time. It does not automatically store the station your on, you have to sift through the other stations! To stupid of a set up and NEARLY was about to take back and get refund!! Also why are we paying $229 for this when they are selling as little as $69 overseas??!! Feel ripped off and typical of all things sold in Australia....disgusting really and not on!1 comment

Gday Anthony a wise word on this device I tried to get similar thing replaced as the led of the clock Is weak it was told to me by the repair man that this device is unrepairable so till this day it’s still working but with weak led display it seems to me buyer beaware of these alarm clock docking stations they are what they are rubbish I replaced with a iHome alarm and IPhone docking station from Amazon America, Novotel hotels use these fine docks in their hotel rooms very reliable.
