This item got sent back and a $15 Emerson clock radio is vastly superior. The company clearly does not elicit feedback from real humans during the design process. I can't imagine anyone actually using this device outside of their engineering labs.
PERFECT CLOCK RADIO, I really like my Sangean Alarm clock radio
- Outstanding AM reception. It will pull in weak signals like few expensive radios can. Same for FM reception.
- Two programmable alarms.
- Each alarm can be set to use radio, radio/beeper (not a buzzer), or just beeper.
- Each alarm can be set for different days of the week. I find I rarely need to touch the alarm settings after it's programmed.
- The beeper alarm doesn't jolt you out of bed. It starts with a light beep and increases in volume (which is also adjustable).
- The display light, which has two settings. One for sleeping and one for clear viewing of the display (also adjustable).
- Two clock displays: Digital and Analog. I find it easier to read the analog clock during the night.
- Accurate time without adjustment. The one thing you don't want to need to adjust is self-adjusting.
I love this clock radio and recommend it highly.
Great idea; badly executed, (What's this?) I love the features of this unit, what with the auto-setting feature and the analog clock face and all the different alarm settings and so on. I even like the "Humane Waking System."
But after only a few days, the pretty blue light you see in the pictures went out and wouldn't come back on, so that in the dark we had to shine a light at the clock to see what time it was. That was aggravating but not fatal.
not completely reliable, My husband bought me this clock radio as a gift. Not long after using it, the blue backlight stopped working. We fiddled with the brightness controls, but nothing helped. It just stopped. I resigned myself to not being able to see the time in the middle of the night. Then recently, the time itself stopped working correctly. The analog time and the digital time showed two different times, neither correct! The digital clock began running way behind time (not good if you want an alarm to go off on time). I was just about to junk it and order a new clock radio when I went in to take a look at it one more time, and both clocks are now reset to the correct time and seem to be functioning... after more than a week of not working right! Go figure. If you buy this, check it frequently to make sure it is still functioning correctly. Maybe I just got a lemon.
Nice Clock, (What's this?) I purchased this clock long time ago....Great product, I saw it for the first time in a hotel in Scottsdale....Like the fact than you can have the radio ON without losing the view of the time, like many other digital clocks out there...
incompetence personified, (What's this?) This company was totally incompetent..sending me a different radio completely.
Pretty good clock, (What's this?) A really nice feature is that the brightness of the display can be adjusted to multiple settings, unlike the one or two on most clock radios. Sound is good, and we like the two types of display. One problem - the digital display is quite hard to read at a distance. Also, the time synchronization attachment works great but is kind of clunky.
Not so great, I bought this item a couple of years ago, and it seemed great according to the description. But it is almost maddeningly complicated to set up for the alarm functions. In fact, after I finally got it to wake me up I quit trying to change radio stations or volume levels. Also, it has a real hard time synchronizing with the time signal from Colorado. I have a small wristwatch very near this clock and the wristwatch nas no problem getting the correct time, but this thing, with its big antenna seems to have a terrible problem recieving the time signal.
Great radio!, I purchased this radio because the clock radio I was using had awful sound/reception. The sound that comes out of this radio is excellent and the tone is adjustable. I read several of the reviews that said the instruction book was hard to read - I thought it was pretty clear and the clock is pretty intuitive. I didn't have any problems getting the atomic clock to set - it did itself within a few minutes of being plugged in. Its easier than alot of the clock radios I've encountered in hotel rooms!
The clock is also very attractive - it has a modern, hi-tech look to it and the silver and blue combination is great.
Wonderful Features, Has alot of nice features and keeps good time using the atomic clock. Onlyobjection would be that i have to get out the manual every time i want to reprogram.
Headphone jack (headphones sold separately).Dual time HWS (Humane Waking System) gently eases you out of slumber.3 x 4 speaker delivers pleasant sound from the unit's 800mw amplifier.Time is displayed via LCD and an analog dial!.Tone controls. This sleek, self-setting atomic clock radio offers a blend of style, features, and performance that will perfectly accent any home or office. The clock automatically adjusts itself to radio signals received from the U.S. atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado, so you're always ensured accurate and reliable time. It even makes adjustments for Daylight Savings time.
A easy-to-read LCD shows time, date, and day of the week, as well as sleep times, wake times, and--of course--nap times. The RCR-1 also boasts an inset, German-made analog clock for easier reading, which synchronizes itself with the LCD's displayed time.
Living with someone else who needs an alarm? You can set and use the RCR-1's two alarms completely independently, with selectable days and the option to wake to a radio or buzzer. The alarm volume starts softly then gradually increases. The radio's ATS system locates stations and automatically establishes memory presets. What's in the Box Alarm clock radio and a user's manual.
