Product Description
The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so you don't have to re-set the clock. When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments. Choose your own snooze time instead of being held captive by the short time intervals of other snooze times. Each press of the snooze button adds an additional 10 minutes to your total snooze time for up to a full hour of uninterrupted sleep. Day/Night Function - Time - 12-hour system Audio Frequency Range - AM 530-1710kHz, FM 87.5-108MHz Antenna System - AM Built-in Ferrite Bar Antenna, FM Power Code Alarm - Radio or Buzzer Power Requirements - AC 120V, 60Hz Output Power - 150mW at 10% harmonic distortion Battery Life (Approx.) - Up to 250 Days with Sony battery Speaker Dimensions - 2 5/8-inch (66mm) Dimensions - Width 6 1/8 x Height 2 9/16 x Depth 5 15/16 inch (155 x 64.5 x 150mm) Weight - 1 pounds 1 ounce (495 grams)

 The best alarm clock EVER!! January 6, 2009
A great alarm clock, you plug it in and the time is set!!! Great sound and very user friendly. Great investment for your money!
 Variable reception depending on where you put it January 6, 2009
This is a nice alarm radio with buttons designed intuitively and a large display that is easy to read from far away. I put it about 1.5-2 feet away from my head and the bright display does not bother me. But the reception is variable depending on where you put it. For our local FM NPR station, it can be crystal clear at one location and very noisy with interference at another location. At the same time, my old clock radio bought at Walmart more than a decade ago has good reception everywhere. I think the problem is due to the fact that this radio does not have a separate antenna, which is a thin long wire on the back of many old radios. Anyway, once it is carefully tuned to a station with noise minimized, it is a very functional clock radio. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a second one.
 Disappointing reception and tinny sound December 14, 2008
I've loved all my other Sony radios, even the cheap ones - they have amazing sound for their size and stunningly clear reception. So I went Sony with this one, but I'm sending it back. The reception and sound are sub par - I can't get the couple of stations I bought it for. True, it's only $11, but based on my other Sony radios I was hoping for more.
Excellent Prodcut December 9, 2008
Just Perfect! Easy to use, easy to program, and small, but very useful!!! I'm happy with it.! Great product.!!!
 Annoying! December 3, 2008

Functionally this clock radio is fine. Time/alarm are easy to set. Alarm reset is great as it is basically automatic. On the flip side, I had to make a cover for the front because the time displays way too bright. You cannot adjust the snooze function to less than 10 minutes, and the snooze bar/reset are too easy to hit incorrectly, hence, you can turn off the alarm instead of snoozing.
Actually I hate it but I paid for it and will just have to use it till I find another I like better.
