This has a great sound and easy to use Phillips Interface but I agree with other reviews - completely let down by The inability to change Alarm volume .The claim that it wakes you up gently on radio is false Better used as a radio rather than Alarm clock

I bought this unit to listen to music to help me drift off to sleep. However, there is white noise coming out of the speaker at volumes 1-5 making it umbearable to listen too. It's consisant with IPhone FM and Aux sources I also found I too have a unit that has a preset Alarm volume at 10! Which is too loud.

I had/have a Philips alarm radio/dock (AJ301DB), which I replaced with this one, as the old one only has the apple 30pin connector not the lighting plug. The Gentle wake on that unit is brilliant so when I saw this one advertised at a good price, jumped at it. Wished I had read this review page first though....... the gentle wake on the new/this unit is not existent, it goes top volume straight away. Very very very disappointed especially since the Philips product page makes such a big deal about it. Back to the old AJ301DB as I HATE the instant volume!!
