Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Nice at first but...
Bought this clock radio about six months ago. As stated above, display is bright, but not unnecessarily so. Radio sensitivity is very good. Sound quality is very good. Alarm indicator on clock face very useful. Buzzer sound level adjustment on rear panel.
Durability is poor. Radio volume stopped being adjustable. Opening the radio (impossible without breaking a few plastic clips) to check if I could fix it myself showed that a tiny pin on the volume thumbwheel broke, and is not possible to glue back together. Even if it were possible to re-glue the part, it would only break again or damage the volume potentiometer. Everyday controls should last longer than six months. Will not waste time with warranty claim; shipping costs would be higher than the cost of a new clock-radio. Will not purchase Sony again. Not recommended if you actually want to use the controls.
Rating:  - Best Alarm Clock Ever
You can either wake up to the radio or this really annoying beep sound.....I prefer the annoying beep sound cuz it makes me want to get up just the turn it off. No other alarm clock has ever worked for me, and this one does. Sony is the best in everything they make, so I knew that this alarm clock would wake me up in the morning! A must buy even for deep sleepers!
Rating:  - A Very Bright Display But a Good Clock
This is a pretty nice little clock from Sony selling for a pretty nice price. I found mine at Wal-Mart three nights ago and I was impressed by its performance. It's a standard alarm clock in the Dream Machine series, but it has all the features you'll need out of a digital alarm clock. The clock itself has a sleek, sophisticated appearance, a medium-sized LED display, a single alarm which you can use with your choice of buzzer or radio, sleep and snooze functions, full power clock back-up, and of course the radio itself. It also has a small build and a large frontal display, which means it can stay out of the way while still giving you a good-sized display.However, there are a few cons about this clock radio, the biggest of all beingthe LED itself. The LED is bright, so during the night it can light up the room pretty well. If you like to sleep in total darkness like me, this can be a problem! However, if you turn the clock around so it faces the wall or put a book or something in front of it, it isn't as much of a problem anymore. Another problem (at least for some) is that the sleep and buzzer volume functions are preset and are unconfigurable. This isn't a problem for me though since I never use the buzzer or sleep function. All in all, if you're looking for an inexpensive clock that is reliable andhas all the features you're looking for in an alarm clock without all thebells and whistles, this is your clock!
