The overall appearance is simple and high-quality, the many preset buttons as well as the large multi-function controller on the top have disappeared in comparison to the old design. All functions are now controlled by the two remaining knobs on the front panel. The left knob switches the radio on and off with a long press, a short press switches the source and the rotary movement affects the volume. Very similar to the right knob: Turn for manual station tuning, short press to enter the preset menu of stored radio stations and a long press starts the automatic station search. Many other functions concerning the display settings, time/alarm and sound settings can be made with the supplied remote control. In addition, the remote control also controls the basic functions that can be set with the two switches on the device. The integrated rechargeable battery ensures particularly good sound even when on the move. The charging function integrated in the radio makes for easy recharging: Simply plug in the power cord and the battery is charged automatically. Bluetooth lets you play your music collection wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet. In mains operation, the adjustable display shows the time in standby and the radio can be used as an alarm clock with two independent wake-up times. An AUX input and a headphone output round off the functional range of the new PAL+ BT.
