Customer Reviews
No Battery Backup = Not Worth Considering
Rating: 1 (2008-12-01)
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.
Good and bad - things you should Know before buying....

I've had this unit for over 6 months overall it works fine but I had to give it to my daughter as there a few annoyances:
1. The analog tuner is sensitive - you can tune in a station one night and the next night it has to be adjusted (ever so slightly) again. If reception is important spend for a digital tuner.
2. When in the 'OFF' setting, there is a very low 'hum' reminiscent of cheap electronics of 30 years ago. I found this too annoying to remain next to my bed, near my head.
3. I thought this unit would play MP3 formatted CDs (it does not), but it only has an AV input (short cord included). I have a Sony boombox in my workshop that does play this format on CD and I find it quite useful.
Overall for the price I guess it works fine, just be should you know what you are getting...
