Nice sound, but so loud!
It's hard to get a solid, simple clock radio these days. I liked the look and feel of this, and I like the variable brightness of the display. I had to refer to the instructions to set the alarms, which was a little annoying, but not devastating. The thing I really dislike is that the radio volume is so LOUD. If you select the radio option for the alarm, it very quickly escalates from loud to very, very loud. And even at the lowest possible volume, level 1 of 16, it's still way too loud for the 'sleep' function to be useful. No more drifting off to sleep with the radio murmuring comfortingly in the background. It would be perfect if only the sound level could be reduced.

Compact
After some 30-odd years, my clock radio gave up. Inconveniently just after Auckland went into lockdown in August. So had to improvise with my phone,.......VERY frustrating. Searched all the electrical retailers websites for a new one, read all the reviews and finally opted for this one. I could have ordered and had it couriered to me, but with some purchases for the home, I like to see them in 'real life' first.
Finally was able to get in store and confirmed my decision.
It's a nice compact design with all the controls on the top clearly laid out, and nicely sized buttons. Quite easy to set up, but I referred to the instruction manual, anyway.
Runs on AC and requires two AA batteries for back-up, which is a pleasant change from the usual EXPENSIVE 9 Volt ones. I though the power cord could be another 15-20cm longer, I have to use a power board and it's a bit of a stretch to fit this, plus a bedside lamp as well, when I only have a single power point in my room. Also has an attached FM antenna you can unravel and attach to the wall or wherever you need it.
Has 3 levels of brightness for the clock. Clock format is 24-hour only. I have it on the dimmest setting even during the day, and that is quite sufficient. The thickness of the numbers in the display is great, so can easily be read from a distance.
The volume range is from 1-16. Has the option of 2 alarms, but sadly, you cannot lower the alarm volume (starts at 8!) No way, you would ever sleep through that!
Only receives FM. Scans the frequencies when you first set it up and programs them into the 10 preset channels, but you can change the presets, if you wish. Sleep timer can be set for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes.

Loud alarm
Great clock with great features but the alarm's only volume starts at 8, which is ridiculously loud. No option of having the alarm soft, either when beeping or radio. Unfortunately this means I don't use the alarm as intended as it wakes the whole house up at once

Radio Alarm Setting
I have been trying for a couple of days to set the alarm to radio. However, after listening to the radio manually at volume 8, I wouldn't use the radio alarm function anyway (as said in other reviews) because the volume is set a 8 which is awful. Seems I'll just use it as a clock and rely on my phone for a peaceful alarm wake up.

A decent little unit - alarm minimum volume is WAY too loud
Nicely made little unit - generally - but a few issues. Bought one each for my teenagers (lack of AM radio is fine for them). Almost returned them when I discovered how excessively loud the minimum volume choice for the alarm radio is. It'll certainly wake you up, but don't choose this unit if you like to be gently woken to the radio and a moderate volume - you'll need to quickly find the volume down buttons and you'll wake the whole house. Volume level 1 would be perfectly fine for an alarm level (even then, that'd almost be too loud for some in a quiet house), but the minimum offered is level 8(!) out of 16. Come on Panasonic designers, give your customers a fair choice on how to wake up in the morning. Basic unit testing should have identified this. Also, there's nothing on the unit to tell the user how to enable or disable the alarm (a quick double press of the alarm button is required). I would have been stuck without the manual. I preferred the little square units by Sony - ticked all the boxes - and bought some of those first but had to return them because they had an annoying electronic hum. Bought these as an alternative, but the Sony units were ultimately simpler to use and preferred. There's definitely room to make this unit better - a clock radio just needs to do all the basics well - this comes close, but a few confusing controls, painful alarm volume and lack of AM mean that my local retailer had about 20 Sony units in stock and only 2 of these.

24-hour clock ONLY
I bought this radio yesterday because it had a clear easy to read read display to view at night without my glasses on. It was difficult to set up so I had to search to page nine of the Operating Instructions before I read this was a 24-hour clock. No other mention of this on the box or website. I will return it today.

Great radio with good quality sound. I love that you can turn down the clock brightness at night.

Alarm volume preset as 8 (max)
Who does this... forces the volume to be max on the alarm volume...why? I hate setting the alarm knowing that in the morning the alarm will scream at me
