Review: PERFECT for those who love the simpler way of life. - My 93 year old mother is “technologically challenged”. She grew up in a time when technology was, compared to today, very basic, but she loved the simplicity of it. She prefers listening to the radio as opposed to watching television but modern radios with digital tuning, presets and DAB do confuse her and pressing the “wrong buttons” was a regular occurrence. Her old analog radio - her favourite old Sony radio - eventually died after over 30 years of service and replacements, bought by well meaning friends, were all digital versions. I spotted this radio and immediately liked the clarity of the display, the simplicity of using it and the lack of loads of numbered buttons. From being “off” the radio can be turned on by moving switch on the front from “off” to AM or FM channels. Nice and simple. There are only two other controls, Tuning and Volume. Turn the tuning dial to the frequency you want, then adjust the volume. The sound quality is a perfect mixture of bass, midrange and treble thanks to the decent sized speaker. The radio is comparatively light and has a handle so it can be carried easily. From being disillusioned about modern electronic products always being too complicated, my mother is exceptionally happy that a company like Sony also caters for those people who still prefer the simpler, less complicated way of life. Thank you Sony, thank you desertcart.
Review: Great sound - simplicity itself - Excellent radio. Very simple to use - it’s on or off and the sound is very good. It has a proper mains supply (which is the greenest, most efficient way to run a radio) as well as running on batteries Reception is good too - the manual dial and display are designed like an old-fashioned radio but they seem to be linked to a tuning system or sensor which lights up for a good signal. Why buy a simple radio like this instead of a nifty digital one? I previously bought and returned a modern high-tech digital radio which had handy features - but none of those features worked well. Digi radios all seem to have an occasional use mains supply and yet the alarm won’t function on battery power, and battery life is poor or very poor. So what’s the point of an alarm you can’t rely on or a battery-powered radio which constantly needs charging? If you just want the radio to be on, and you like simplicity, this Sony is great. I bought from Co-operative on desertcart UK. Very fast service and great price. I’d rate them highly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you get smooth radio on this device**
A: Hi,

The radio does not feature receiving Internet radio stations, it features support for FM/AM radio stations. The availability of stations depends on the coverage in your area. You can find the full specifications here: http://bit.do/fnxGA (copy and paste the link into your web browser).

Sony support team

**Q: Is this a true analoge tuner?**
A: No, it is not a true analogue tuner. It uses a DSP which hops from station to station. Once the tuner "locks on" to a station the knob does not perform fine-tuning within that signal’s passband. 

To the Sony representative - when a prospective customer asks if a radio is true analogue this is what they want to know. TRUE analogue.

**Q: Does it stay tuned if connected to a power timer?**
A: Hi Peter,

The radio doesn't store the stations, it tunes the stations as it goes along while rotating the tuning knob. Therefore, the stations won't get affected upon powering ON/OFF the radio.
