Bright lights
(3 out of 5) by Frank Mario on Jan 17, 2000 (Baltimore, MD United States)The AIWA FR-A200 AM/FM Clock Radio works about as one would expect a low-end clock radio to work (if its music you are after there are better radios in the $60.00 range, but for news and early morning traffic reports who needs fine reproduction). The controls are fairly easy to get used to, although the "Sleep" button is sometimes a little difficult to locate in the dark. The "Snooze" button is a snap to find. The only drawback of this Clock Radio is that the green luminous numbers on the clock are VERY bright and may keep light sleepers awake. The light from the radio might fool you into thinking dawn has come earlier than expected. Otherwise I have no problems with this machine.

Poor Customer Service
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Aug 15, 2000Navigating through AIWA's customer service is almost as bad as dealing with the IRS. It makes their warranty practically worthless.
In my experience, the AIWA products I've owned (one shelf system, and one portable tape player) have functionally lasted about a year or less. Save yourself some money (and more importantly the headache of dealing with their customer service) and buy a Sony or a Pioneer (anything else).
