Clock Radio

It is really hard to find a nice mantel digital clock and I'm fortunate to come across this one from Philips. Looks really elegant and built with great quality!

Nice product but useless instruction pamphlet consisting of little icons with no explanations. Had to search internet to find proper instruction manual explaining everything in detail. From there it was all good.

The instructions are not the clearest I have seen, and I can't seem to adjust the radio volume when it's set to wake me up.

The volume is to loud when using the radio alarm function.

Design looks nice, its good to adjust brightness levels, although lowest is still too much for me to sleep (I am sensitive to blue lights when falling asleep). Alarm's lowest volume is too loud for falling asleep, gentle wake up or even to play radio in background while working. Every time you plug it out it need re-setting which is not indicative as on other devices (even older alarm clocks). I couldnt set for radio to wake me up, which was precisely the reason why I purchased this, instead I would have the alarm go of then manually start the (too loud) radio. I came to this site years later to re-read user manual because I still don't know how to set time. it was a relief to see that other customers have the same problem(s)

I cannot figure out the alarm. The instructions in the box are hieroglyphics and the online instructions are not much better. I can see the icon for the two options of alarms, but it baffles me on how to set the time. Why is it so hard to design something simple? It is going back to the shop tomorrow.

I have used many clock radio alarms in hotels across the world. This has defeated me. A world first if you like. Instructions are useless and the online useless. I particularly like the trouble shooting.. if it doesn’t work set it correctly . Bravo.

Looks nice, easy to read but sleep function is useless if the radio is too loud on the lowest setting for you to go to sleep. Really disappointing when it was purchased for this reason. Not sure if this intentional or a fault.
