    Weird alarm behaviour

    During initial set up of my SBR at Christmas, I set the alarm for every weekday but not for the weekend and to use the CASCADE sound with increasing volume. This has been working perfectly until last Monday morning when the radio came on at alarm time LOUD and both in my earphones and the loudspeaker. When I hit the OFF button, the radio stopped but the Cascade alarm started.
    I had made no changes of any sort so this is a complete mystery to me. Is such strange alarm behaviour a known fault?

    It happened again this morning. The radio came on loud in both earpieces and loudspeaker - no alarm signal at all though. I suffered verbal abuse from my wife because it must have been my fault. However, I have changed nothing and the alarm settings are still correct.

    i've been experiencing something similar. i have multiple alarms set in SC, one @ 6:30am, the next for 6:50. both are set to fade volume in, and to run M-F. both have worked fine for months (since i set them up). i was traveling recently and turned all alarms off. came back and turned them on, but now the 6:50 alarm does not work at all (won't come on) and the 6:30 alarm comes on at full volume. i've tried resetting them, to no avail.

    baffled.

    I've noticed strange behavior too with alarms. My radio refused to accept a new second alarm.

    I found that when I changed the time from 24 hour to 12 hour and then went back to set the alarms, all was good. Both alarms work now.

    Weird alarm behaviour cont.

    I've also had some weird alarm issues.
    The first is I have a set alarm with the sound being one of my favourite stations. What I end up getting is some canned music, certainly not what i selected. I turn off the alarm and about 30 seconds later I get another alarm with my station.

    The other issue I'm getting is at the alarm time I get my selected station but it is horribly distorted. Turning off the alarm and turning the radio on clears it up

    Having exactly the same problem, probably happened 3-4 times in the last weeks. This is connected to SN, not a local server.

    I have my alarm set for 7:55, rather than fade the radio station in (nice and gentily) I get some booming caned music, no idea where it is coming from, but it's bloody annoying. I turn that off and then my alarm comes on.

    Please Logitech, sort it out. I didn't spend £100 on something that won't even do the most simplistic of things.
