We've been holding off from buying a DAB alarm radio with IPOD dock because they just don't seem to be wholly reliable and the feedback has been off-putting. After reviewing the options and feedback from the Amazon community the common faults and niggles seem to be, the clock failing to keep time, the back light being to bright, poor signal reception for DAB stations, poor sound quality and loss of station memory.
As far as we can tell this unit is spot on for our needs and addresses the concerns above. The clock has an independent CR 2032 battery back up for the clock. There is a visual on screen icon to notify when the battery is low. The back up light has four easy to selectable manually adjusted light level settings; Very bright, comfortably bright, low to dim and off. Fortunately for us the DAB signal strength is great in our area so no problem there and FM is OK as well. The sound quality is very good for a compact unit and more than loud enough for a bedroom. It also has a couple of bass and stereo boost buttons if needed. No comment on the memory loss for the 20 preset stations but hopefully the battery back will preserve them. The unit was disconnected from the mains and it retained the stations presets.
There are two independent alarm settings modes. Alarm setting option are; time, weekday, weekend and everyday, preset station or IPOD or buzzer selection and volume level. There are sleep and snooze timers with four or so present durations.
There is a small remote control which covers everything except setting the alarm time. The range about 4 meters but you have to be generally in front of the unit. The IPOD charges in the dock.
It's early days so I hopefully this unit will continue to do what it is doing.
Our previous clock radio was a 3 to 4 year old first generation Pure Chronos. This has a reliable clock but the station memory keep failing every 3 to 5 days. The outcome is getting woken up to Absolute radio which can be a bit abrupt in the morning.
Sorry Amazon, John Lewis has you beaten on price at the moment which is very unusual.

After trying a cheaper docking station / DAB radio from a supermarket which I ended up returning, this Sony is much more impressive. There was no interference from the phone, and the range of DAB stations that it was able to pick up was much improved. Some over 50 miles away from where I live. The features are good, and most importantly, the looks, sound quality and build quality appear good enough to last a few years.
Set up is simple, plug in, it sets the clock and scans for DAB stations. Has 2 DAB tuners. Alarm setting is simple, with setting for 2 alarms, e.g. weekdays / weekends. Comes with a battery for handling electrical power outages (mainly so the alarm still goes off, not for holding the clock time as that is set from the DAB stations). Sound quality from iphone 4 is good, charges the iphone of course.
One downside is the remote. Its small, but the buttons are all the same size, and little to tell in a dim bedroom light what they actually do. However, I guess with time that will be less of an issue.
(Getting hold of these is difficult at current time of writing this (Jan 2011). Ours came direct from Sony, I didn't want to wait 1-3 months. That's a first for me to not get direct from Amazon, perhaps proving the popularity of the product.)
Overall, a good product.

Bought this for a relative after reading reviews of various docking stations here on Amazon and also checking them out in electrical stores. This Sony has superb sound quality and the ability to alter the brightness levels is a revelation, very useful in a bedroom. The addition of a remote control is also fantastic. I tested the item with a 4th generation Ipod Touch and it worked fine. Now I am thinking of getting one for myself.
