Nice clock radio for less $$$

Nice $40 clock radio with a small footprint size that’s a lot less money than some other high end brands. Lighted LCD with 3 levels of brightness and dual alarm display. Easy to use, decent single-speaker sound, good radio reception, good looks, and includes built-in line-in plug for external audio source (I use it in my bedroom and have the TV sound connected to this unit). Date and time were already preset correctly right out of the box. Very happy with this Sony clock radio and recommend it.

Update (2/7/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

40 bucks for an alarm clock?
I really wanted a clock with a function of nap if I bought it. Pros nap feature hard to find replaceable battery automatic time set you can turn off the alarm clock (no more noise), and it will remain set to go off the next day picked up all my stations nit-picking favorites Cons You can adjust the shadows to very low, but the large screen gives a little off with a glow in the dark and low contrast, it is difficult to read in the day. All buttons on top at an angle oblique to the rear, without tactile differences, may take some time to find the right button. mono speaker sounds good, but would be much better stereo nap timer can wake up in the buzz (I think) I recommend the NAP function alone is worth it.

Stylish but has a few limitations that aren’t obvious from the product description
The radio looks nice, is fairly compact, and has a very good display. The radio and speaker are also good for a unit of this size and price.

However, I was surprised about two things:

* The radio’s digital tuner doesn’t automatically seek to the next strong station like most radios - you have to manually stop at the right frequency. Once you’ve preset your favorites, this of course is less bothersome. Perhaps there’s a way to do it, but I couldn’t figure it out.

* The clock’s “auto time set” feature is not what I expected. Perhaps it’s just me, but I assumed this meant it sets the time from the NIST radio signals. That’s not the case. Instead, the clock comes shipped with the correct time already set and kept current thanks to the built in battery. You just have to set the time zone if you’re not in EST/EDT. Unlike with a real “auto time set” feature based on NIST signals, you will probably have to adjust this clock manually every spring and fall because the US keeps changing dates on which Daylight Saving Time starts and ends.

I decided to keep it since it’s for my young daughter and she won’t be as fussy as I am, but it would have been nice to see these issues noted in the product description.
