Product Description
The Timex T617S offers accurate auto-set timekeeping, CD and radio playback, stereo speakers, onboard nature sounds, and an external audio input. The unit's stately silver finish and translucent CD door add visual touches of class, and its versatile CD playback modes include repeat and random play. Once plugged in, the clock will set itself, drawing on its factory installed 100-year calendar. The clock will even self-adjust for Daylight Savings time and leap years. It features a programmable sleep mode with independent sleep volume to select 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Drift to sleep or wake to your choice of a favorite radio station, a favorite CD track, or any of the unit's 4 nature sounds. The T617S's 2 alarms each function independently, so both can be set for either the same or different wake signals. For radio listening, you'll enjoy drift-free digital phase-locked-loop PPL tuning with 12 preset stations for 1-touch tuning convenience for your favorites (6 FM, 6 AM). Use the clock's handy Smart Knob to quickly and easily adjust all settings and major functions.

Amazon.com Product Description
Equally suited to entertainment and utility, the Timex T617S is perfect for any bedroom or kitchen, offering accurate auto-set timekeeping, CD and radio playback, stereo speakers, onboard nature sounds, and an external audio input. The unit's stately silver finish and translucent CD door add visual touches of class, and its versatile CD playback modes include repeat and random play. Once plugged in, the clock will set itself, drawing on its factory-installed 100-year calendar (year/month/day, 2000 to 2099). The clock will even self-adjust for Daylight Savings time and leap years. It features a programmable sleep mode with independent sleep volume, too (select 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes), so you can drift to sleep or wake to your choice of a favorite radio station, a favorite CD track, or any of the unit's 4 nature sounds: ocean surf, rushing brook, forest spring, and wind chimes. The T617S's 2 alarms each function independently, so both can be set for either the same or different wake signals. For radio listening, you'll enjoy drift-free digital PLL (phase-locked-loop) tuning with 12 preset stations for 1-touch tuning convenience for your favorites (6 FM, 6 AM). Use the clock's handy Smart Knob to quickly and easily adjust all settings and major functions. Ideal for a portable MP3 player or cassette player, the T617S's auxiliary audio input broadens your listening options to include any source you deem appropriate. Hookup with portable audio devices is a snap using the supplied stereo minijack-to-minijack audio cable. And, just to make sure you never miss an important appointment (if only some quality time with your shower or morning coffee), the clock also comes with Timex's Sure Alarm battery backup. Just install 3 AAA batteries (not included) to activate this feature. In the event of a power failure--or if you disconnect the AC power cord to move the clock--Sure Alarm will maintain your clock and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarms will sound at the appointed time (while operating on battery power, the alarms will sound only as buzzer). What's in the Box
Clock, FM wire antenna, a stereo analog audio interconnect (minijack to minijack), and a user's manual with warranty information.

 Waking up to nature sounds rocks!! October 1, 2008
I bought a couple radios that said "Wake up to nature sounds", but they sounded so mechanical. Where do I begin...With the Timex T617S I like the choices of nature sounds; my fave is the Tibeten sounding gongs, my other half prefers the frogs. I so enjoy being able to control how bright the time face is. I prefer to have the room as dark as possible, so in the past having that very bright green blue or red lighting of the time in my room always kept me up. Third big perk is controlling how long I snooze; lot's of options. My other half absolutely LOVES the "smart knob"; being able to turn the knob to set time, versus holding down a button. Doesn't it suck when you go past the time you need and you have to keep going forward. Better yet you try and speed up the process by continuously pressing the button. It's everything we need, plus more. We love it!
 Poor quality control September 17, 2008

I bought it, opened it up, plugged it in and The 'Nature Sounds' did not work. I called up their customer support and was told to return it.
How did this pass quality control?
This is a good looking clock radio with features that are desirable.
Too bad it doesn't work.
Timex better get their act together and make sure that a product is not defective before sending it out.
Poor Quality Product September 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I do dislike being negative, but receiving an electronic product that doesn't work right out of the box was quite disappointing and requires some level of exposure. The volume control simply did not work at all. The sound volume was stuck at one, loud level and would not change. The Company made it such a hassle to exchange the defective article that it was going to cost me money to get an exchange. Thus, I would end up payng more than the sales price to get one that worked.
I would not be able to recommend a Timex product for the poor quality and unacceptable lack of customer service.
 Easy to Use August 22, 2008
This is a great clock Radio. The alarm is easy to set. Nice large numbers and alarm icons. Only problem is the first one we ordered had a broken knob and had to be returned.
Just Stopped Working after 3 weeks! August 1, 2008
Got this because of some good reviews, mainly because it seemed to have an easy to use interface.
The basic problems seem to stem from the location of many of the controls on the front panel which is a CD door that opens and closes.
In only a few weeks of use, and not using CD or MP3 player, it just stopped working. All of the controls either stopped responding or began to operate other functions in a chaotic way. Became impossible to read time, set alarm, play radio, or turn off "nap" setting timer.
Over all, probably a design flaw that places sensitive controls in an unstable, risky location on the device.
