    Does the backup battery merely keep the time updated, or will it activate the alarm in the event of a power cut?

    It has RDS?? That's awesome. None of the ones here in the US have that, and ours are manually tuned except for the projector model.

    Pity about the aerial at the back. It should have a telescopic one - not a cheap wire.

    Great review, I have had one of these for several months and love it, the DAB radio works perfectly here in Australia (in Victoria where I live). Just one problem I have is that the clock does not automatically adjust for daylight saving time. We have just turned back our clocks to "normal" time and the clock does not automatically adjust. I tried turning it off to start it from scratch to re-tune and automatically update the time, but when I turned it on again, the clock still displays daylight saving time. I could update the time manually, but I like the accuracy of the automatic tuning. Do you have any advice Zimpaz?

    • @Zimpaz

      Interesting! Mine has changed automatically. I think it’s done by a fm radio signal. At least here in the UK anyway..do you live in area with good reception? Of course they might not even transmit it in aus

      @@Zimpaz, well I decided to manually change the time, and in doing so, it gave me the option of an "automatic" or "manual" update, so I chose automatic, pressed enter and the clock automatically adjusted to the correct time, without me having to enter the hour/minutes. I can live with that, and I still love my DAB clock radio. We do have fm radio here in aus, but I much prefer the DAB stations, so much variety. By the way, I do have another DAB clock radio (also a sony) which automatically adjusts to the correct time without me touching it. :)

    Probably because here in Australia we are so poor we can't afford an atomic clock and it seems we have no DAB stations.

    As for sound, the worse speaker, of the two is the bottleneck. It is likely we all have better speakers on our computers and phone. If you did play the sound, we would have heard it just fine, but the limiting factor, on your end, is your microphone. So, if you played a public broadcast station, like weather service, you'd be fine.

    John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
