Really spotty contacts, sometimes the buttons

Good controls but buttons are small.

The radio tuning is in the back while the top has 15 separate buttons

If you wait up in the morning and most of us head for the Snooze you can hit the wrong button and get AM or another feature to kick-on instead

I love the big snooze button on top which you can hit while you're half asleep, but the minimum snooze is 10 mins, I'd prefer 5 mins

And this is the best alarm clock I could find!I made a cover for the clock that has a cutout where the alarm stop button is, easy to find in the dark and half asleep now.

To remediate that, I placed very small clear adhesive plastic pads (less than 1/4" wide) onthe buttons I use most - so I can hit the right button by touch only

About the only thing I wasn't able to determine is if you can use the nature sounds to wake up to... the programming indicates that the alarm turns on the radio only... however, because all the buttons are right on top, and easy to find, you could sleepily reach over and flip the sounds to whichever you like better if the radio is driving you nuts

I also thought the off button was tough to identify in the dark so I. Had to glue a small shirt button on top of it.

Not the easiest to find the button to turn the alarm off

the setting buttons for "alarm A" and "alarm B" are on opposite sides of the radio so there is less chance of confusing the alarms

Sometimes I hit these buttons by mistake when I'm groping around in the dark trying to find the right button to turn the radio off/on

My husband wanted to replace a somewhat older combination clock radio-disc player that would periodically make strange noise if touching the wrong button half asleep

The buttons are hard to located inthe morning - even the off button.

The On button is third from the left, the Off button is next to it, always hard to find.

The radio works great and the buttons are easy to find

The buttons are a bit small too, so it's not easy to turn off the alarm, which may or may not be good.

The top buttons are logical and organized in alphabetical order; it took me only a few days to know their order and location in the dark

I miss the "nap timer" which previous Sony clock-radios had: a single button to set a short interval alarm (10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes) to help schedule naps

The only negative comment I have is that the OFF button for the alarm is hard to find among the other buttons.

but readability is poor; small buttons hard to see/use.

Dedicated buttons for features instead of multifunction buttons...

-Great range for radio signals on a sub $200 tunerCons:-The display on the dimmest setting, without being off completely, is still a bit bright once your eyes adjust to the darkness.-Button layout not exactly convenient or intuitive.-Programming the alarm has a bit of a learning curve.-You can't manually adjust the time(ie. forward 5 minutes or delayed 5 minutes)Bottom

The brightness can be set by tapping the large button on top that is for the snooze/brightness going from bright to dim to off.

The double alarm is a nice feature and the preset buttons are great for your favorite channels.

The buttons are maddening.

While I like the dual alarms with options for which days they go off, the buttons are too small for finding in a sleep haze or in the

Minuses: small buttons and weak fixing incidentally might turn off the alarm, many wires (antennas) and if put on low bedside table (30") you can see the time well

but you can put a little sticky button(electronic feet) over it so you can feel it in the dark.

I do not like the tiny buttons along the back of the top side.

One place it could have been located is where a prominent button which allows the user to receive the output from another device is positioned.

Hard to find button to turn off alarm in the morning3

Light doesn't automatically come on at night, but a simple push on a top button turns the light on and off.

Also, it's really easy to miss the "off" button, and hit another button instead (the buttons are all the same size, in a row across the top of the unit).The clock face is extremely easy to read -- day or night.

The buttons can be a pain at first, but once you've had it for ten days or so, you get used to them in the dark

, most times I just have to keep pressing in the hope that it will.- Alarm off button is tiny and buried in the middle of all the other buttons making it almost impossible to turn off the alarm without actually picking it up and looking for

I also didn't like the small button and location to turn it off.

It will ignore any button you push, anyway

two nits, the reset button is the same size as the other buttons on the top of the radio so hard to pick put in the dark.

The only downside is the buttons are not intuitive and the directions are incomplete.

There's 3 buttons on the BACK of the radio that don't have hardly any label at all, so its really confusing when waking up first thing in the morning if you need to change any of the settings

Worse than that is the button configuration, there are 8 tiny buttons on top to control things, so when the alarm goes off you can't find the correct button to hit to turn off the alarm.

Despite setting both alarms (A & B), neither has gone off in two days of use

If the light does not bother you, get this b/
