It plays talk radio pretty well and has just enough features

The audio input would be a nice feature if the speaker didn't sound so bad

So this feature alone has me thrilled.

This is a good clock radio, Sony name brand with some good features

Otherwise, this is a nice compromise between a full-featured high-end iPod-compatible radio and a cheap alarm clock.

Sort of defeats the purpose of having a clock in the room in spite of all the neat features of this clock.

So the best feature for me is the fact that you can change the blue backlight from bright, to medium, to off by hitting the snooze button.

are other great features, but those were my "must haves" when looking for the perfect clock

Since the actual setting drifts with time this is a totally meaningless feature because my clock was well over a minute off out of the box and it is only less than three months beyond the manufactured dated

Great feature-rich alarm clock

This clock has lots of cool features...that are really really hard to use.

One of my favorite features is a weekend and weekday alarm setting

Another great feature is that it takes a battery so that if the power goes out, the alarm does not fail you

This clock radio has too many features that are half-baked, like the "nature" sounds.. the rainstorm sound is cool, but they all sound pretty similar after that, and really the built-in speaker isn't good enough to allow high pitched bird tweeting and ocean sounds to really be all that comfortable to the ear.

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

the features are fine, but the brightness, even on the low, is really bright.

Another nice feature is that you can independently set the volume for alarms A and B.

Has a few nice features but speaker is cheap and does not sound good at all and the light as others have commented is a bit bright for sleeping even on dim.

I wish this worked because it has a lot of good features

The other features are good but Sony missed a few top ones for an alarm clock.

For example - the maligned display is 'bright', but for me it has one great feature that no other alarm clock has had - an 'off' position for the brightness.

But there are many frustrating features about this clock.

This is a nice feature, but I'm not sure how accurate the thermometer is

The other features are good but Sony missed a few top ones for an alarm clock.

However I do love the features and the large digital numerals.

It has as well two additional features which I don't use, but may be important for some people:1

I love the sleep timer feature.

Thermometer is a cool xtra feature

I think the clock has great form and features, but I've found it to be unusable since I have to get out of bed at night and turn on the light in order to find out what time it is.

Nice features, but some shortcomings

The thermometer is also a nice extra feature.

All other features are great, easy to use, and exactly what I was wanting.

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

But those features are lacking on SONY

The time does auto set, and that is a great feature, so bottom line is, as a clock, wonderful, as a radio, not so much!

This radio has very nice features.

The worst feature is how all of the buttons aren't very well labeled, meaning when I see the time or alarm settings need to be changed, I have to get the friggin manual out and figure out which button does what.

Another great feature of this clock is a buzzer that starts off somewhat softly and slowly and gradually gets louder.

Great feature-rich alarm clock

I would not buy this again; Lots of nice features when they work; keep the directions close by

I like the compact size and features, and the radio signal comes in

Many features on this including two alarms, dimmer and off setting for the clock readout, automatic time setting, and a set of sounds to go with the am/fm radio that will either put you to sleep or wake you up

The features on this clock radio are good, radio reception is fantastic

My favorite feature is the automatic time

Nice features but the sound quality isn't really very good ,especially in AM.OK for the price.

Nice feature weekdays setting

That is a great feature and now I will not have my wife yelling at me on Saturday mornings for forgetting to turn the alarm off.

It has a lot of useless features, the buttons are in odd locations and set-up is counter-intuitive.

Nice feature is the weekday and weekend alarm setups.

This is a sweet radio/alarm... love the sound effects and other features!

I also enjoy the backlighting feature

While it does have a few nice features like dual alarms with weekday/weekend modes and temperature display, the negatives far outweigh any positives

The Nature Sounds feature seems a little superfluous but is actually quite pleasant

Why would someone bother to give a product so many useful features, but not actually try to use it in the dark to see how it works

The features are very good and for a small radio the sound is fine.

I also like the feature where an ipod can be plugged into it by way of the headphone connection

With all the other great features it's beyond me why they didn't make the brightness display fully dimmable.

It had absolutely stellar features otherwise.

Ultimately this clock fails at one of the most important features

The other nice feature is that there are two alarms settings with one that you can set for weekends only.

The features I really like are the backup battery, the Ipod jack, some of the nature sounds, and the automatic daylight savings

Lots of good features....except 1

so it specifically doesn't ring on weekends and doesn't rely on me to reengage it Sunday evening (heavenly feature)

I love that it has 2 alarms (A and B) and you can set them for weekday or weekend using any of the sound options and even pick the volume (levels 1-30) for the alarm level to sound off
