AJ34000/12 Clock Radio volume always starts at level 7

[gnl]

Hello,

How can I adjust the volume of this clock radio in such a way that it will start to play at the level where it was playing when I switched it off?
At the moment it always plays at volume 7 (too loud) when switched on. No matter what I do with the volume adjustment knobs.

Thanks

Hello gnl,

Thank you for the posting on the forum.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to adjust and preset the volume.

Kind regards,

Amazing product design!
Unfortunately that leaves no other option than to return the product to the shop.
Which would be a pity, because this is the first clock radio with good radio reception.
Or is there a way to open the clock radio without damage? In that case I could attenuate the speaker.

Some more experiences:
It appears that when you switch on the radio with the Sleep/Snooze button the radio uses the previously used volume (eg 01).
When the radio is switched on by its on/off button or by one of the alarms, the radio always plays at volume 07.
