Product Description
The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so you don't have to re-set the clock. When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments. Choose your own snooze time instead of being held captive by the short time intervals of other snooze times. Each press of the snooze button adds an additional 10 minutes to your total snooze time for up to a full hour of uninterrupted sleep.

 Not in unison October 10, 2008
Sony says they set the time at the factory. However, the two units that I have show different times, two minutes apart. That's not very accurate, though not critical. It would be nice if the times were the same, so my wife and I would be better coordinated.
 exactly what I was looking for! October 3, 2008
This little item was a very pleasant surprise. All of my former clock/alarm systems have been a pain from day one. Not this one! Out of the box and fully set up in less than 5 minutes. The alarm is loud enough to get you up. It can easily be seen across the room. You can see at a glance if the alarm is on or off, whether it is AM or PM. It comes with the battery to reset itself if you have a power failure. It even accounts for leap years. you are not going to find a better clock radio with such ease of use at twice the price or more compact than this one.
Good October 1, 2008
The radio section is not digital, but it's fairly good in accordance with its price.
Quite Satisfied September 14, 2008
This is a basic but nifty clock for the price. I like the alarm feature that if you don't hit the snooze button within a short time the alarm beeps increase in frequency for those heavy sleepers. My old alarm clock used to jolt me out of bed with its horrible screech alarm but the Sony alarm is much gentler on the old nerves. It has an Daylight Saving feature which is nice and a large easy to read LED screen readout. The radio recption is very good ( better than my main tuner! ) and the sound is clear. There is also an internal battery backup so if there is a power outtage you don't have to enter the settings again.
But the best thing about this clock is that it's simple to use!
A good buy September 8, 2008
If you're looking for something small, bright enough to read at night but not so bright it keeps you up, then you'll like this clock. It's transportable, it's cheap, and above all, it works!
