I have a Sony XDR-C705DAB clock radio which I have had to stop using recently, as on several occasions, it has turned itself on at midnight.  This is particularly unhelpful when I have to be up shortly after 5am and have already been asleep  for a couple of hours.

It happened once and I disregarded it. It happened on Friday 13th July this year and I started to get suspicious. It happened again on 1st August and I'd had enough.  It's now been relegated to the spare room and I'm using a different one.

Have any other users experienced a similar effect?  Is it some Sony software writer's idea of a joke?

Although I initially thought this model would be a good purchase, with 4 alarms to cope with my random shift pattern, I subsequently found it fiddly to operate.  You have to cycle through loads of menus just to turn a particular alarm on or off.  The buttons on the top slope downwards and away from you so it is not easy to operate whilst lying down in bed.

Anyway, I'd be interested to hear any similar reports!
