Amazon.com Product Description
The Sony ICF-CD831 is a CD clock radio full of modern, and useful, features. To begin with, the clock radio is shaped in an interesting and compact oval shape. While the shape is modern and sleek, its shape is also useful: the radio fits well on a small space, like a bedside table, desk or bookcase. This clock radio will look appropriate in any room. The CD player supports commercial CDs, along with copied CD-R and CD-RW discs. The FM/AM stereo will pick up your favorite music or talk radio stations. With the ICF-CD813 you can wake up to the CD player, FM or AM radio or a buzz alarm. There are two alarms on the radio: a nice feature for couples, or for someone working dual working shifts. The snooze button on this clock radio is extendable, a nice option for those who relish those extra minutes of sleep. To go with the snooze button, Sony has also installed a nap timer. Set the alarm for 10, 20, 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes and take your nap confident that the alarm will not let you oversleep. The large (nearly one inch tall) green LCD display is easy to see from across the room or while in bed with fuzzy eyes. There is a brightness control, perfect for reading the clock during the bright daylight hours, or in the pitch dark of nighttime. The clock runs via an included AC cord. There is no power outage safety with this radio, so make sure to use a back-up alarm should you expect a failure in electrical supply. What's in the Box

 Model of unreliablility January 19, 2006
I got this out of a simple desire to be woken up by my favourite songs. Straight away it failed to run a single MP3 off my burnt CDs. In the year since, I've had an alarm button literally break and cannot get normal CD track to run in order. It functions now as a regular radio for me. For my relatively modest needs, this Dream Machine was an expensive hassle. Dang!
 Its okay..... January 17, 2006

out of all of my alarm clocks that i have had, its just okay. it wakes me up when it has to, most of the time. i have found that i have been late to work several times because it just doesnt want me to wake up sometimes. other than that the fetures are pretty good, the cd player part works very good. and im not sure who said it, but it does have a batery backup, or at least mine does, cause i never have to reset it when the power goes out.

There's no battery back up and the radio needs to be tuned manually. I wanted the radio to wake me and set it for the radio, but the alarm beeped. I reset it and tried the following morning using the second alarm, and it also only beeped. I want to wake gradually to a radio, not a beeping. I do not recommend this item.
CD player not of high quality January 8, 2005

This worked great up until a little less than a year after purchase, then the CD player started going haywire. It still plays CD's, yet when I set the alarm to play a song on the CD, it will spin and spin, but not play. Tried to get it replaced under warranty so I called Sony helpline and they talked me through it until it eventually worked on one song on a different CD, of course when I hung up, it stopped working again. Not worth the $50 I spent.

I love this clock radio/CD player! It's a great clock radio for someone who's trying to get back to better sleeping habits. I was originally looking for a clock radio with soothing "nature sounds" built in, but this clock radio really does the job. I can play a CD with nature sounds or soothing music when I go to bed. I just set a timer, and the CD turns itself off. I can set the alarm to wake up to music, the radio, or a buzzer. By the way, the buzzer isn't an obnoxious loud buzz; it's more like a pulsing chirp. Much more pleasant to wake up to! The LCD has two brightness settings, so the light doesn't wake me up in the middle of the night. The only down side is that it takes up a little more room on the bedside table than I had planned, but that's minor compared to this clock radio's strengths.
