    Initial alarm sounds like drip of water in bucket. After 44 minutes from alarm setting, SLIGHT chime sound. Could NOT hear across king size bed

    SAVE YOUR MONEY, IT'S JUNK ! This would be a $10.00 radio at best on the shelf of a CVS or some low end box lot store. The tuning and reception are terrible. Too many useless buttons, has the feel of a cheap knock off. This looks good on line, IF you saw it in a store and tried to get it too work, you would leave it there.

    I read the instructions first. When I plugged it in, it work for a full 5 seconds then the display went blank. Nothing worked. I had power and even unplugged and tried powering it up again and still nothing. Searched for possible solutions on the internet and to my surprise many folks are having problems with this item. I packed it up and returned it to Best Buy the same day and got my money back. I recommend Best Buy...this item not so much.

    The projection is set where you have to turn the clock face away from you for the projected time to be right-side up from bed. Poor design.

      Hello Randy! We suggest trying the ROTATE PROJECTION function as described on the operating instructions to find the proper view prior turning the clock radio face away to use the projection, please follow the steps available on the following link page 2 under Using the Projector: https://docs.sony.com/release//ICFC1PJ.pdf ~Jeannette sony_US

    The unit was hard to program/set, the alarm did not work, the writing on the settings are hard to read, the radio is almost impossible to tune-in and hold on a station, uses a lithium battery for backup. Definitely would not recommend.

    Digital clock radio

    This model is ten times better than the cheaper model that is only 50% of the price of this one. This one has all kinds of valuable features while the other model is terrible and lacks basic features to operate it easily. I replaced a similar clock radio made by Timex that had most of these same features so I am familiar with the items.

    This clock is a joke .Alarm is not loud enough.Radio sounds like crap.When you listen to fm you only hear half of the music. I should have took it back but waited to long . My mistake . I buy alot of sony products thinking good quality but this clock is making me think twice. Nature sounds do not sound real,CHEAP!

    Ridiculously complicated setup of alarms and radio stations, an idiotic design with multifunctional buttons. Instructions are some of the worst I've ever read through. I don't understand the point of this piece of junk, other than displaying the time on the ceiling.
