Review on Sony ICFC1TBLACK Alarm Clock Radio by Adisorn Yang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

The radio turns on at the volume that is set by the knob, including when the alarm goes off. If you fall asleep to a quiet sound, then there is a chance that you will not wake up quickly in the morning from such a volume :) But the complete predictability of such an analog, direct adjustment. Like it soon! If there is no power from the network, there will be no sound and indication, but when the power is restored, if no more than an hour has passed, the alarm clock will go off. That is, the emergency situation is sufficiently thought out, and the probability of a power outage at the time set on the alarm clock is negligible.

Pros
  • Aesthetic design and convenient, thoughtful control of all modes separate buttons, even by touch backlighting and transferring the alarm for a period of 10 to 60 minutes in increments of 10, depending on the number of presses on the large key. Don't accidentally click on others! ANALOGUE wheels for radio and volume adjustment, very nice after the already boring push-button adjustments. An excellent indicator with an optimal digit size and a pleasant orange-yellow backlight with three brightness levels. It can be seen from anywhere, but in the dark it does not hurt the eyes. Time in 24 hour format. Date day-month-year are also present. Even there is a manual transition on a separate button for summer time. We, in 2022, are now irrelevant already :) Radio reception is very good! There are FM and AM bands. Classic transformer built-in power supply! This is rare, but thanks to Sony engineers for it in this particular case. For, unlike pulse converters, such a source does not give high-frequency interference, which means that for radio it is possible to make the sensitivity higher and not hear any parasitic overtones. High-quality sound, albeit with minimal, but still readable bass, from very low, for falling asleep, volume, to decent for daytime listening. Battery backup (included) in case of a power outage - the clock and alarm settings will not be reset, which means you will not oversleep. Pleasant, gradually increasing in volume and frequency of repetitions, the signal of the alarm clock itself. The alarm clock rings for about an hour if you do not press any buttons. You can set the radio as an alarm signal. There is a timer to turn off - 15-30-60-90 minutes.

Very handy alarm clock. You can set the alarm to either sound the alarm, or you can set the radio loudly and the alarm will wake up the radio broadcast. In the dark, the numbers are very clearly visible.
