Great Electronics for any Home

According to my experience, this Compact Radio & Stereo is amazing. It has great sound quality with good bass and treble, and the clock is a perfect addition to my bedroom. The ability to set two separate alarms is much appreciated. However, it requires more power than expected, and having a battery backup would have been nice. Overall, I highly recommend this product for any home audio needs.

Pros
  • Attractive and sleek design
Cons
  • No longer manufactured or widely available, making it difficult to find or obtain.

good for what i use it for.

This old Sony is only used to give me 90 minutes of conservative news before announcing it tonight. It also serves my parrot well when I pop in a classical music CD when I'm away for an hour or so.

Pros
  • Compact Radios and Stereos
Cons
  • Good but not great

upset. to the clock radio

Disappointment #1: This unit DOES NOT have a digital synthesized AM/FM tuner; it uses an old-fashioned tuning wheel. Sony is trying to compensate for this by using AFC on FM, but with all stations here (near LA) it will likely switch to another station due to temperature changes during the night. AM is very sensitive to AM interference and not very sensitive. The emergency power supply only takes a minute; Has NO backup battery. Audio power is only 1.2 watts per channel (3-inch speakers) but…

Pros
  • Home Audio
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
