Simple clock radio November 1, 2008 This is what I was looking for: a basic clock radio. The auto setting clock is very easy to use. It uses a coin-type lithium cell as a backup for the clock during power outages. Sound is adequate (small speaker). My only complaint is that the clock display is not very bright. This can be good if it's next to you bed, but a little hard to see across a lighted room.
Not in unison October 10, 2008 Sony says they set the time at the factory. However, the two units that I have show different times, two minutes apart. That's not very accurate, though not critical. It would be nice if the times were the same, so my wife and I would be better coordinated.
exactly what I was looking for! October 3, 2008 This little item was a very pleasant surprise. All of my former clock/alarm systems have been a pain from day one. Not this one! Out of the box and fully set up in less than 5 minutes. The alarm is loud enough to get you up. It can easily be seen across the room. You can see at a glance if the alarm is on or off, whether it is AM or PM. It comes with the battery to reset itself if you have a power failure. It even accounts for leap years. you are not going to find a better clock radio with such ease of use at twice the price or more compact than this one.
Good October 1, 2008 The radio section is not digital, but it's fairly good in accordance with its price.
Quite Satisfied September 14, 2008 This is a basic but nifty clock for the price. I like the alarm feature that if you don't hit the snooze button within a short time the alarm beeps increase in frequency for those heavy sleepers. My old alarm clock used to jolt me out of bed with its horrible screech alarm but the Sony alarm is much gentler on the old nerves. It has an Daylight Saving feature which is nice and a large easy to read LED screen readout. The radio recption is very good ( better than my main tuner! ) and the sound is clear. There is also an internal battery backup so if there is a power outtage you don't have to enter the settings again. But the best thing about this clock is that it's simple to use!
