I've had the same problems setting the alarm, so it goes off at 5:40 am and 5:40 pm. The most irritating bit for me, is the inability to determine the order that songs will be played from the USB device. The strength of the batteries might have a something to do with it.
There doesn't seems to be any clear organizational pattern. finally, The speaker cords are short, so I lengthened them with additional speakerwire. My remote does work from at least 10 feet away. . I do love the ability to have my television as the input.
I can then wear headphones, watch-tv and not wake my partner. I've resorted to covering the clock with a sticky, turning the face to a wall, or keeping it under my bed. I find the display to be too bright.
It's worthless. I plugged my VCR into it for sound, that works, but I would also like to note that the Inputs are in the front of sterio, UGLY. The alarm feature is terrible. Don't even bother with it. This radio is Junk. The clock is terrible.
I thought this looked like a slick radio, it has inputs and an "AUX" input feature. in about a 1/2 to an hour it will come on. This thing is headed to the junk pile. Right now I am waiting for the sterio to come on.
Therefore it's impossible to set the alarm the night before I want to wake up. Meanwhile, I was hoping this would be a nice, compact, all-in-one device for my tiny Manhattan apartment. I have to unplug it at night to be able to sleep. When setting the time from am to pm, the alarm also changes from am to pm. I called tech service. They will only pay for the return shipping.
My only option is to mail it to Buffalo. (In other words, the alarm is useless). If I try to change the alarm back to am, the time also changes to am. Also, the FM radio works fine but I get no sound at all with AM, not even static. And the display is very bright, even when dimmed. The usefulness of the usb port and that the item was purchased out of state as a gift are the only things that stop me from getting a refund from the store. Instead I have a one radio I use to listen to AM radio, another I use for time and alarm, and this one I use for CD/usb.
The operator was very polite, but had no information since the manufacturer was just bought out three weeks ago.
As far as I know she likes it and hasn't mentioned any problems. I've had mine now for about a year. I'm about to by a 3rd for use in my workshop.
For the price it's a nice system. I love it. The remote works fine for me.
I use it in the office and have my XM radio attached. I bought one for my girlfriend to use in her office (small size makes it perfect).
I would like to give a top notch review of the unit, but the problem with customer service in this case overwhelms all other considerations. It sounds pretty good, too. We bought this cool piece for our daughter's 12th birthday, and she loves it. The unit itself works fine. I was going to see if I could verify my hunch that it ought to be sufficient to make the remote useful. The MP3 recorder and the USB input make it a really exceptional choice, especially for a 12-year old.
Why can't they just send me a new remote, or give me someone to talk to who can troubleshoot the problem. If the remote has to be that close to the unit in order to work, you are already close enough to operate the controls on the unit, making the remote practically useless. There is no phone number you can call to talk to an RCA tech support person to ask them what the range is supposed to be on the remote, for example. The "new" hasn't even worn off of my little girl's stereo, so I'm not going to do that, yet. Perusing the instruction manual and user documentation, I've noticed that the manufacturer's support for this product is practically nonexistent.
The problem with this little wonder is that you have to position the remote about 11 and a half inches from the stereo in order to get it to respond. But my only option seems to be to pack up the unit and ship it off to a service center in Socorro, Texas, for an exchange, which should arrive back to me in 4 to 6 weeks.
