Many Features

"Many great features for a clock radio, but you'll need the User's Guide to get started. No battery backup. CD transport flimsy, and capability limited; only one constant speed (about 4x) for foward and reverse seeking, making it very slow to search. CD also skips or loses tracking about 3/4 of way through most of my CDs. Auto-adjusting of display intensity not sensitive enough; display will not brighten unless ..." Read Full Review »

"Two major criticisms: 1. the display is invisible from below. Placed on a headboard above eye level, the display simply vanishes. To see the time you have to sit upright and turn 'round - not fun on cold mornings. 2. the controls are small and hard to find either by touch or sight, even in dayligh …"  Read Full Review »

"Remarkable reception of TV, AM and FM, even down in the basement. Nice and heavy so it doesn't vibrate off of the table or retreat as you set it. Solid clock-radio sound. The case is an attractive neutral color; not a glitzy gold. Despite its compact deign, it is not intended to be portable and is b …"  Read Full Review »
