Sony AM/FM Stereo CD Clock Radio
From the Manufacturer
A large, readable display as well as a 3.5mm jack to plug and play your digital music devices Set two separate wake up times, or use the extendable snooze ...
Never quite mastered setting the alarm and the worst part is that the digital glow in the dark numbers are SO LARGE that they were keeping me up at night.
Love the big numbers for the clock, and the ability to play cds
The product has nice big numbers for seeing in the middle of the night.
Easy for him to use to play CDs and listen to the radio, nice big numbers to read the time.
The large numbers with black background are easy for her to read.
This Sony has great sound, a good CD player, a reliable clock and alarm, and there are three setting for brightness--all of which met my wants and expectations.
This radio is excellent, two alarms, a nice sounding CD player, very easy toset the clock and the alarms
I bought this cd clock radio from a chain store in my area and found that though I liked that I could change the brightness of the display, this item fails completely as a cd player
The other jumps or pauses if you barely bump the player
With a pretty good CD player and speaker system built in
The Alarm, Radio, and CD features are common features for Clock Radios, but I also wanted to connect an MP3 player
However, features are missing -such as the ability to pre-set channels, just a small dial for changing channels, with no indicator and need to boast audio slightly when goingbetween the CD player and radio
I do like the feature that allows you to control the brightness of that oversized clock display (otherwise, you could read by its light)
Like sleep feature with cd and then alarm feature with radio.
On the other hand, it does lack some features that some people look for in their clock radios
Unfortunately this clock radio does not have a backup battery so if you lose power, you lose your alarm.
As others have noted, it has no battery backup; if I was depending on it to get to work on time, I'd probably have a loud, obnoxious second alarm clock (with battery backup) set for ten minutes later in
The alarm is easy enough to set, and I like that you can wake up to a buzzer, the radio, or a CD
Alarm "A" would look like it was set, but at some point during the night, it de-programmed itself.
This is a great little alarm radio that can either wake you by CD, radio or buzzer
It's basically a terrible radio with a great display and decent CD player
I bought this to replace an awesome Sony CD alarm clock that gave out.
This Sony has great sound, a good CD player, a reliable clock and alarm, and there are three setting for brightness--all of which met my wants and expectations.
The duel CD alarm clock is very sturdy with many features
Great as dual alarm clock - wake to preset CD TRACK, or just alarm.
The one disappointment I have with this radio is the lack of a battery backup for the clock
The only drawback I really have is the lack of battery backup
The only true faults I find with this product and agree with the other reviews is the lack of a battery backup which would seem very important for a dependable alarm clock
The following problem is the lack of engineering of built a radio and alarm with no backup battery
Came in perfect condition - everything works as it should, looks sleek
Unfortunately this clock radio does not have a backup battery so if you lose power, you lose your alarm.
If you live somewhere that loses power a lot, then you don't want this alarm clock (no battery backup), but if you have electricity most of the time, then this Sony is an excellent pick.
The only possible complaint is that it does not have battery backup, so if you lose power, it resets.
When you lose power, you have to reset the clock all over again
Even the most inexpensive of alarm clocks/clock radios have battery back up and ESPECIALLY with a dual alarm clock (and an aging electrical "grid" where you can lose power momentarily on a regular basis) it makes no sense NOT to have battery back up.
