Power supply not working – It's very disappointing that a Sony product only last a couple of years. I was so faithful to this brand because of the outstanding quality of their products but that is no longer the case. I can't believe that there is no solution for power failure. I have been opening the device to find if it will work with battery but not. No fix, I will have to buy another device but of course it won't be Sony.
Power supply not working – Very disappointed with Sony, the power supply is not working and Sony say they can't replace it. This radio is only 2 1/2 years old. I won't be buying another Sony Product. After numerous attempts to try to get a replacement or have it looked at least have had no success.
Not worth the money – Disappointing dock from Sony. Will buy a cheaper brand next time and then replace it when I need to instead of paying so much for something that doesn't work properly after 2 years. 1 year warranty is a joke. Obviously they don't stand by their products if they expect it to break after a year. Display is good when it works, gives extra… Read more
information about channel your on etc. Very weak signal, cuts in and out all the time. Annoying. Would of been better of with just a normal radio without the digital. After 2 years the digital display which is supposed to show the station your on, time etc doesn't work. Very annoying. Not worth the money.
Adequate, but not great – The box suggest this is only for iPods and iPhones, however, this unit works also with iPads. They fit on the dock and charge OK. Basic tuning is fairly automated, however, setting up the pre-sets is far from intuitive for even a seasoned setter-upperer - manual definitely required. LCD clock display can also give info on the station and the… Read more
current tune (DAB/DAB+). Twin alarms. Quality finish and a design that takes up less countertop real estate than many docking alternatives. Simple wire antenna gives good reception ~10km from transmitter. A strong spring on the connector makes it difficult to align any iDevice with the socket. Sound isn't great despite extra bass buttons/settings - effects sound a little, but doesn't add much to the bass. No ability to record or rewind.
Love it! – I love this, it is on whenever I am home and all weekend, other than a few reception issues which has nothing to do with the device itself, it has been a great addition to my home. My iPod fits and works well, it has awesome sound for a small unit and is easy to use! It is quite large so possibly better for other areas of the house other… Read more
than the bedroom, as it takes up a lot of space on the bed side table. Sound, usability, looks good! Not much at all!
DAB not the best – I liked this unit as the sound was good on it and well it looked good. It's a Sony so it had to be good and well it is. the Ipod/Iphone docking station is easy and has the little piece so that any model can fit into the dock comfortably. Great as an alarm also. we actually use it in the kitchen and use the alarm for other things to remind us… Read more
instead of in the bedroom to wake you up.
DAB radio not the best, but not the product's fault, DAB still must be doing something to fix as sometimes it cuts in and out.
Good cord length too! Probably not something you care to know about but for me it's always important Look, sound, use
Great Sound – I tested a lot of digital radios in the shops and this one by far had the best sound quality. Also had an Ipod Dock so that was a plus. Only down side was the reception can by pretty weak but that may be due odd situations I have it and maybe poor signal from digital network. Terrific Sound and Ipod/Iphone dock Reception maybe be better
