Radio tunes easily - easy setup of alarm times.
Why is this Alarm Clock so Difficult to use?2010-03-18
I ordered this alarm clock to replace the similar Alarm/ Radio/CD clock I'd had for years. It was a Sony "Dream Machine". It finally died, would not play CD's, which I prefer to wake up to.

I should have spent a bit more and gotten another one that played CD's, but for some reason I didn't. That is not why I'm downgrading the clock.

Although it too is a Sony "Dream Machine" I find it hard to set, hard to turn off the radio in the morning when it goes off (normally the room is still dark while I'm trying to find the right button, and end up changing the time setting).

All the buttons are black-on-black and small and hard to read.

The clock setting, the numerals, are clear and large enough, and not overly bright. Thats one of the few good things I can say about it. I would not buy it again, in fact, although I've had it only a few months, I may buy another one, more like my original one, and pass this on to someone who needs a regular alarm clock.
Works well... sort of!2010-03-16
I like this alarm... it has an emergency backup battery built in (which worked well when my power went out). It has two programable alarms for people who need to wake up times. It has a nice buzzer that can get loud for heavy sleepers but isn't grating.

It also has an automatic time set which is the one problem I have with this alarm... the time that it automatically sets is about eight minutes off. Also there is no way to overide the auto-time (none that I can find at least). Eight minutes isn't the end of the world, but it is a problem for a product that is essentially a time keeper. I liked it enough to keep it and simply set my alarm for 7:08... but that is a little annoying.

"Why don't you just wake up eight minutes early?" you ask? Because I don't want to... get off my back... what are you my mother?

" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!
