Audio setting - Your radio will play stereo broadcasts in stereo (via headphones) so long as the received signal is of adequate strength. However, as a stereo signal becomes weaker the audio signal will become poorer. With intuitive controls, the PLAY 20 allows for easy navigation and operation.

The radio also includes a built-in speaker, delivering crisp and clear sound for an enjoyable listening experience.

That means that with careful planning, you never have to worry about losing connection to your favourite stations. Additionally, the Roberts Play is pretty well-priced when you consider some of the higher costs associated with things like the Roberts Stream. The Roberts Play digital radio is one of the lesser-known products in the Roberts portfolio. It doesn’t have the same trendy standing as the Roberts Revival or the same retro charm that we’ve come to know and love from Roberts. However, the Play does have an appeal of its own.

Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely. We therefore recommend setting the volume to a low level before connecting headphones to the radio. When it comes to functionality, Roberts usually delivers a great experience. The Play digital radio automatically searches for and discovers DAB radios from the second you turn it on. Finding content to listen to is a breeze, and the reception is excellent too. Press and release the Info / Menu button to cycle through the various FM display options. The display options are station name, scrolling text, program type, The Roberts Play digital radio is about mid-range for price, but it looks like a more expensive device, particularly when you see the Roberts label on it. What’s more, this kit comes in a range of colours to suit your style, just like many of the other devices in the Roberts portfolio.

Manual tune - Choose 'Manual tune' and then choose the desired DAB channel. The signal strength will be displayed.

Circuit features We’re big fans of the orange and light blue versions of the Roberts Play, but honestly all of the colours look fantastic when you get up close and personal with them. What’s more, beyond the initial visual appeal, you can rest assured that you’re getting a well-made design. Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Danger of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.
