Sony ICF CD543RM Kitchen Discontinued Manufacturer Review

I didn't dare to buy as it was in use. Nice that it worked great. All instructions were included in the assembly template. Sounds great, fits great. The result is the perfect gift. Thank you Revan And thanks to the previous owner for this care.

Received in the post yesterday. It has a "RESTORED" sticker. Installed, enjoyed the sound last night. Today - LESS THAN 24 HOURS - he passed away! My CD is in, the radio doesn't play, the clock is on, but NADA, NOTHING WORKS. I WILL SHIP IT TOMORROW AND I WANT A REFUND!

Easy to install and delivered well packaged. There was no template, no documents, no remote control. Average sound and performance, but everything worked. I was a bit disappointed when I saw a production date of 2003 on the device. Had I known it was that old I probably wouldn't have bought it, but the price was still fair and it does the job.

I have had this CD/clock radio for about a month now and I really like it. It was easy to install under my kitchen cabinet and the wood of the cabinet was thick enough that I could countersink the screws and fix the problem some people reported of the screw heads sticking out in the cabinet.

It's for the kitchen, as the saying goes - so the great sound was lost to the sound of the hood, microwave and other cooking noises. This is our second of these devices - the first lasted over 10 years before the

There are very few radios under the counter other than Sony, which probably explains its popularity more than any other factor. Given the lack of space, reception is decent considering the antenna is in the power cord, despite having strong signals in a large metropolitan area. You must connect the device to the intended installation site BEFORE installation to check reception. The sound is satisfactory considering the speakers are placed at odd angles to most effectively disperse the sound…

It's been a long time since I've seen a clock radio that could be plugged into an external antenna and . . . It's also been a long time since I've seen a clock radio with impressive reception. This unit has above average sound which was definitely our main purchase goal. It wasn't cheap, not even used, and it took a lot of work to secure under the closet. (I ran a flexible metal bracket underneath, which is invisible unless it's on a countertop.) But the sound is a lot better than average. In…
