Great little box,
By
This review is from: Roberts Radios Stereo Clock Radio With CD Bookmark (Electronics)
My wife wanted a DAB radio for her birthday (mad keen on sports news)plus it had to have FM (local news) plus she listens to reading book CD's every night plus she plays Mp3 CD's - the side of her bed was cluttered to achieve this.
After many hours trawling the net I came across the Roberts Sound 37 - it looked perfect - I was a bit concerned about the comments by others of the DAB reception and its 'cheap looks' but decided to 'go for it'! Very good DAB and FM reception, CD bookmark is great - sound is good ( bass/treble control would have been good though)- once you know what all the buttons do its great.

Roberts CRD37 vs PURE Chronos II CD,
By
This review is from: Roberts Radios Stereo Clock Radio With CD Bookmark (Electronics)
Initially purchased the PURE Chronos CD II as I wanted a Radio Alarm clock that would do everything. I already have a PURE DAB radio so I knew that the pedigree was pretty good. Unfortunately when I got the unit home I discovered that PURE had cut back on quality on the CD. The DAB and alarm funtionality was great but I also wanted the CD to play MP3's and at a low level. The previous version of the Chronos CD did play MP3 encoded CD's but not this one despite several websites saying to the contrary. I had to phone PURE support to check and they said it was a cost/licensing issue not to support MP3 CD's???? Aside from this the CD is unlistenable to a very low volume levels because the CD mechanism itself is just so noisy, with a constant whirring hum and a regular click. In the end I took the unit back and swopped it for the Roberts CRD37 and this was possibly the best move I have made. Apart from the small, hard to see buttons and the strange font on the display this Roberts outclasses the PURE in every department. YES, even in the radio area with a half size aerial. The CD mechanism is now silent and the sound quality is excellent (for a small radio alarm clock) even without any tone controls. To anyone who is in the market for a DAB, CD Alarm clock that plays CD MP3's then I recommend this higher than the PURE.
PURE have now released a mini Hifi which also funtions as a radio alarm clock and supports MP3 CD's, but this is a 3 box solution, not great for a small bedside table.

A Lot in a Box,
By A. Roberton "Alan Roberton" (West Wales) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Roberts Radios Stereo Clock Radio With CD Bookmark (Electronics)
At first I couldn't quite work out what the buttons were all for, but once I ploughed into the manual, it all began to make sense. The DAB radio is up to normal Roberts standards, meaning you find it difficult to better, and the CD player is also excellent. If I had to make a small criticism it would be about the absence of tone (bass and treble) controls.
A compact unit that gives out far more than you initially expect. I especially like the clock face, a good size that can be read without needing to resort to my glasses. It really is amazing what it can do, so long as you read the many paged manual (where my glasses are essential). The fact that it also plays MP3 files that have been copied onto a CD and has FM radio if needed, is a terrific bonus - in fact the MP3 player is almost worth the money in itself. Even without the tone controls, I still give this 5 stars as the sound that comes from this small(ish) unit is quite a pleasant surprise. All in all, an excellent clock/radio that plays CDs perfectly and had a top quality DAB radio.
