This was my first and only venture into DAB, I bought this radio when DAB was first unleashed on the unsuspecting public, and I bought Roberts purely on reputation alone. Not long after delivery the volume control started acting up, you know the type, where you have to keep taping the knob to hear anything. Well this continiued for months, just before the gauruntee expired I sent it back to Roberts and explained the problem. The technician only had to turn it on and he would have heard the problem... so I thought. It was returned a couple of weeks later with a note, " no problem found"...I an still perseveering with this radio and it looks like I will have to take it to an independant repairer. I will never buy another Roberts radio, and I would advise any potential buyers to look elsewhere.. I am very dissapointed with thier aftersales. Just for the sake of a volume control costing a couple of quid. Jlayden@gotadsl.co.uk

card slot for recording and MP3 playback, a USB socket for connecting to a computer, stereo line in and out sockets and an incredibly compact design. A stunning feature count for such a discreetly styled radio.
