A large colour display located centrally on the front panel shows the current radio station and other information such as a slide show or station logo. The radio is operated using the buttons on the top of the device or the handy infrared remote control. If required, the DAB radio automatically switches off after you fall asleep using the integrated snooze function or starts playback at the programmed wake-up time in the morning. Different wake-up routines can be set for weekdays or weekends.


"In testing, the Kenwood CRST85DAB proved to be a modern, reliable and versatile DAB+ compact radio. (...) Those who do not require battery operation and value convenient operation, high sound quality and a versatile range of functions will certainly be satisfied with the CR-ST85DAB."
Ricardo Petzold, Chefredakteur Digitalfernsehen
"The Kenwood CR-ST85DAB achieved an impressive overall rating of 92.2% in our test, earning it the top mark of ‘very good’. (...) That said, the CR-ST85DAB is also ideal as a standard radio system for the living room, study, bedroom or kitchen, as it offers excellent sound quality, clean workmanship and multiple playback options via Bluetooth (5.4) and wired aux-in transmission."
