Product details

It impresses not only with its classic design, but also with preset DAB+ and FM transmitters as well as a quick function for DAB+ radio. In contrast to analogue VHF transmission, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
is a new method for the digital transmission of radio signals via a network of terrestrial radio transmitters. It offers the listener more choices and information in clear sound quality without any noise. With this technology, the receiver automatically searches for the strongest signal. With DAB digital transmitters, you no longer have to remember a frequency. The devices are set by station name and do not have to be reset on the way.

Klanglich erweist sich das Philips AE 5220 als eine gute Wahl, wobei auch die Empfangsqualitäten insgesamt stimmig sind. Wer jedoch viel UKW-Radio empfangen will, findet bessere Alternativen. Die Bedienung wiederum ist positiv aufgefallen, ebenso wie auch der sehr geringe Verbrauch.

Trotz des noch akzeptablen Klangs landet das Philips AE5220B nur auf Platz 5. Das liegt vor allem an der spartanischen Ausstattung - es gibt keinen einzigen Ein- oder Ausgang, selbst ein Kopfhörer-Anschluss fehlt. Aber auch die sehr kleinen, fast unleserlich beschrifteten Tasten machen wenig Freude...
