Poor Reception
I replace an old "1970s" Wards clock radio with this Sony Dream Machine expecting great things. I live out in the country about 40 miles from my favorite AM stations. The Wards received the AM stations loud and clear, the Sony barely gets one station. The Wards received 5 FM stations fairly well, the Sony none. I will say the speakers produce much better sound that the Wards, but the constant on lighted display gets annoying at night, especially if you like a dark room but still want to see the time.
Updating from the old!
I had an old Panasonic clock radio bought back in 1982!!! I needed to update! I purchased this one because it had the features such as digital tuning & CD player plus I liked the size.It stands more tall than wide.It has alot of great features.I gave it a 4 star rating only because it has so many buttons. What has happened is I've accidentally bumped the wrong button in the dark and have been woke up 45 mins later cuz I hit the "Nap" button! It just is more technical and takes time to get used to.It does have excellent sound and station pulling capability.I purchased through Amazon because of others reviews and most importantly their prices!
Sony Clock Radio
I bought a Sony clock radio that Sony evidently isn't manufacturing any more. I had had one before but it was lost in a fire. The one I received from Amazon was fine and is, in fact, a better model than I had before. Everything seems to work.
It arrived a little later than I had expected--several weeks after I ordered it. And it didn't have the original paperwork, including the manual. I found a download of the manual which was ok, though not very detailed. Mostly I had to figure it out for myself how to make the various functions work.
All in all, I am satisfied with the product.
An incomprehensible piece of junk.
If you are looking for a simple bed-side clock, forget the so-called "dream machine." It arrived with a dead battery, and is impossible to set for the proper time without reference to the manual. It is completely non-intuitive, and if you have misplaced the manual--as I have--it is utterly impossible to re-set after a power failure. Don't buy this piece of high-tech garbage.
