I was really disappointed after i got this alarm clock. It worked fine for a few days, although the sound qaulity was rather disappointing. Then everything just fell apart...the cd player stopped working first, playing tracks only when it felt like it. The alarm would go off sporadically and was very unreliable; it seemed like whenever i needed to wake up the most it never rang. I've since returned the item. An alarm clock that picks and chooses when to wake me up isn't my idea of a great product.

I'll cut right to the chase. No adjustment for tone. Needs more bass in the speakers. The display at night will replace any nightlight you have on in the room. It is REALLY bright.I have to cover the display to go to sleep. The unit has a button for display but no reference to to what it does in the manual, it just shows that it is there? Called the manufacturer, talked with two different people and they informed me the button does not function on this model???

well the radio is horrible and it won't play my burned cd's.it's ok, i'm twelve years old, so don't start thinking that you're reading a review from a five year old (he he).The screen is very difficult to read. After about a week or two, both hinges broke on the top of the cd cover. Now, it won't close, and just stays opened all the time. It's pretty annoying, and to get it to play my cds, i have to put like, a dictionary and lava lamp to hold it down, LITERALLY!!!!!!!! And really, I'm not kidding. But on the positive side,the sound is OK. It doesn't take up much space on my nightstand,either.If you were getting ready to buy this product, in my opinion, you shouldn't.It was a waste of money and i hate it.Especially for that price,too. Ok,well,you don't have to take my word for it, you can buy it, but my suggestion for you is not to.

Thanks for listening,

I agree with all others on this unit. Nice sounding speakers but the radio reception poor. No dimmer switch and the display button is for displaying the cd tracks if anyone needs to know. But over all alarm is loud enough to wake the heavy sleeper. They need to make these radios with pull out antennas.

Display way too bright, sound quality just okay. The one that I bought, I returned because the clock was really fast. The only thing I really liked about it was the big display (except for the fact that it lit up the whole room).
