Review on Sony ICF C153V Reception Discontinued Manufacturer by Rachel Cook

Just received this clock radio. I like the look and the modern style. Setting the time, alarm clock and station presets was very easy. Channel reception was excellent and the digital tuner made it easy to find a channel. The sound is very good for a small mono radio. I really like the cube design; It doesn't take up the entire bedside table and the LCD is easy to see. All in all, an almost perfect radio alarm clock for me. If the clock were an atomic clock with an LED display, then this would be ideal. The LCD has 3 levels of brightness; I don't care, but I understand why people who need total darkness to sleep can find even the lowest settings too bright. Two alarm clocks: one is just a radio and the other just a buzzer. It has no backup battery. But I noticed that he didn't lose his settings when he was disconnected from the network for a few minutes. So there might be a built-in backup; You'll have to wait for a real power outage to find out. If you don't need TV and weather groups, or want a black clock radio, check out the ICF-C143 model. it is AM/FM only.
