False sony advertising

I returned this thing the day it was delivered. Sony falsely says it's equipped with a digital AM/FM tuner. But the tuner is analog, with a wheel with some numbers stamped on it so you turn it with your finger to search for a station then jiggle it back and forth to try to find the strongest signal.

I really appreciate Amazon's no postage required return policy that lets you print a return address label that requires no postage.

No Battery Backup = Not Worth Considering

If it is unplugged, or there is a power interruption, for just two seconds, it forgets the current time and both alarm settings. I bought one at Best Buy and returned it the same day once I found that out. I would rate this "Not Acceptable".

Love this clock radio!

Great deal on this! For my 10 year old daughter, who loves to listen to cd's and LOVES her mp3 player, this has great sound and is easy to operate. She can easily hook her mp3 up to it, and it is compact to fit on her small end table. For $39.99, I wish that I had gotten one for myself!!

Fits the bill

We were looking for something simple for our grade school children to wake them up in the morning, and this was perfect. No iPod hype, has all the basic features, easy to use, large digital display and good sound quality for a unit of this size. We didn't feel a battery back up was necessary, as our own clock radio has one. We can wake the kids in the event of a power outage.

CD player broke after 9 months

The title says it. I was tempted to title it "Usual Sony Junk" as it's not the first Sony product that has just crapped out for me early in its life. In this case, the CD no longer spins or plays.

Also, I found the controls quite complex and niggly -- poor UI is the modern term. But finally having mastered that, it broke. Now it's just a bulky clock and traditional alarm.

Not recommended.
