The Cd player is very picky. Some manufacturers of CD's it will not read on the first try....The Auxillary impute requires double the volume when connecting an Ipod or A Satellite Radio Tuner as the radio requires for radio or CD, a automatic level would be appreciate...

On her own she bought the iCraig iPod Alarm Clock Radio. She doesn't own an iPod! I think she bought it because she likes the way it looks. — A Closer View — The style of the iCraig I was going to call retro. When I was almost done with this review I wanted to see if it was on the website: www.icragelectronics.com. It is and it is called "RETRO iPod ALARM CLOCK RADIO Model 3036." The reason for this is the rectangle box style with the large speaker in the front. Two large knobs for volume and tuning are on the front as well as the power and snooze buttons and a large LCD screen which is easy to read and has a blue backlight. Of course it is not one my mom would have needed for her kitchen! — The features other than what I noted above include the all important (for many people but not my mom!) connection on the top of the unit that supports an iPod, MP3 and audio player. — The iCraig Retro iPod...

After 3 years it started to buzz, buzz got louder and louder, as loud as the alarm, no way you could leave it turned on. — Took it to Boston(AUS) who said 'it's the transformer, it just happens, it's unrepairable, get a new radio' — Don't get me wrong, I don't want a free repair, I'm happy to pay, I just want my radio fixed. — Emailed Boston(USA), tried all the email addresses on their site, eventually got a response from the service department 'here's a contact for our transformer supplier in China'. After a month of email back-and-forth with China I gave up. — Based on their lack of surprise or response Boston thinks 3 years is an acceptable lifespan for a $350 radio - I disagree. — There are other products available that work as well and sound as good, buy one of them instead. —...

I recognized the good name of Boston Accoustics so I turned it on. What an amazing sound! It is small in stature and not modern looking but at the same time takes up little space. I can forego the looks (rather plain looking) for the wonderful full base sound that come out of this radio. This Receptor Radio you can wake-up to an alarm or radio. This radio tunes stations I could not get with my other clock radio. You can preset stations for easy navigation. What is really great is that this has an AUX input for any MP3 player. Of course it also has the snooze bar. The Receptor Radio is a little pricey, but I feel that the price is absolutely worth...

Now why you ask would a person need 3 alarm clocks, I will tell you right now. The first 2 went in the Master bedroom, one for my wife and one for me, the third went in my daughters room. Of course hers was under the tree last year, so it took her a while before she could enjoy it as we did. — — Simple setup so says the instruction manual. — — For once I have to agree on that one. Was I ever surprised just how easy it was to set the time. All you do is plug it in, YUP plug the dang thing in the wall!! It does have the option of setting it for different time zones, mine was already there. I plugged this thing in and in less than 10 seconds the time was set NOT just the time either, this SmartSet also set the Month, day and year as well! — — Features — — The SmartSet also comes with a lithium battery which...

I enjoy waking up to relaxing music or noise. It sets the tone for the day, I think that is very important to having a great day. — ...

The first one that I paid $3.00 for I returned. I upgraded to this one by $2.00. One for $7.00 can be found at amazon.com. There are pros and cons but the cons in my view outweigh the pros. — A Closer View — This is a black plastic clock measuring about 4 inches wide by 3 inches across by 2 inches deep. We redid our bedroom so I didn't want my big clock radio anymore. I just wanted a clock that would wake me up and that I could see. — The Sharp has the following buttons on the top: time set (shown as t-set); alarm set (al-set); on/off/alarm; hour, minute and a snooze light button. It's quite easy to set up. — It takes two AA batteries that might last a long time, I don't know. — It has a two-year limited warranty. — The pro is that if you don't like to wake up in the middle of the night and stare at a clock because you can't fall asleep then you have nothing about which...

A rubber gasket surrounds the radion and keeps water out of the inside. The speaker and knobs are on...

These types of radios usually give you the option of waking up to a beeper or to your favorite, preset radio station. You can also set the sleep timer and listen to music as you drift off. These radios are inexpensive, but that's because they are so simple in design and function. — — For those who want a little more in a clock radio, the retail outlets do offer a few more options. One of the fancier clock radios that caught my eye and convinced me to make a purchase is the subject of this review. It's the Timex Model T600 clock radio/CD player, a device that gives you several different ways to wake up or to go to sleep. — — Radio Commentary: — — Timex T600 goes beyond the call of duty for a clock radio. This clock radio/CD player gives the owner many different ways to wake up...
