 Good and bad - things you should Know before buying.... November 4, 2008

I've had this unit for over 6 months overall it works fine but I had to give it to my daughter as there a few annoyances:
1. The analog tuner is sensitive - you can tune in a station one night and the next night it has to be adjusted (ever so slightly) again. If reception is important spend for a digital tuner.
2. When in the 'OFF' setting, there is a very low 'hum' reminiscent of cheap electronics of 30 years ago. I found this too annoying to remain next to my bed, near my head.
3. I thought this unit would play MP3 formatted CDs (it does not), but it only has an AV input (short cord included). I have a Sony boombox in my workshop that does play this format on CD and I find it quite useful.
Overall for the price I guess it works fine, just be should you know what you are getting...
 DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY! November 2, 2008

This radio gets such poor reception sometimes it simply "blinks" out. You think you lost power or the radio died but then it comes back on. Also when I had it plugged into one of my kitchen outlets I would get static whenever the automatic outdoor light would go on. I had to move it to another room. I bought two because of the price and I wanted a radio for each room. It is huge--way too big. Finding a clear signal for a particular station is also difficult. Like I said in the title, don't waste your money!

I like this Clock radio, but the only thing I am not very happy is the radio. You need to search the station manually by rolling the small bar on the right side of radio.
Good Buy October 31, 2008
Great radio, good sound, easy operation. Only draw back, no radio station scale. Hard to find specific stations, tuning wheel only, have to scroll thru stations.
 Sony Dual Alarm Clock Radio w/CD Player October 9, 2008
This is an excellent product. I like to listen to books on CD. My last CD Clock Radio wouldn't play all book CDs. This one does. The only drawback to this product is the SUPER LARGE time display. Sony ICF-CD815 AM/FM Stereo CD Clock Radio with Dual Alarm
