Sony Dream Machine ICF-CD843V CD Clock Radio with Digital Tuner Reviews
I live out in the country about 40 miles from my favorite AM stations. I will say the speakers produce much better sound that the Wards, but the constant on lighted display gets annoying at night, especially if you like a dark room but still want to see the time. The Wards received 5 FM stations fairly well, the Sony none. I replace an old "1970s" Wards clock radio with this Sony Dream Machine expecting great things. The Wards received the AM stations loud and clear, the Sony barely gets one station.
I needed to update. What has happened is I've accidentally bumped the wrong button in the dark and have been woke up 45 mins later cuz I hit the "Nap" button. It just is more technical and takes time to get used to.It does have excellent sound and station pulling capability.I purchased through Amazon because of others reviews and most importantly their prices. I had an old Panasonic clock radio bought back in 1982. I purchased this one because it had the features such as digital tuning & CD player plus I liked the size.It stands more tall than wide.It has alot of great features.I gave it a 4 star rating only because it has so many buttons.
All in all, I am satisfied with the product. It arrived a little later than I had expectedseveral weeks after I ordered it. I bought a Sony clock radio that Sony evidently isn't manufacturing any more.
The one I received from Amazon was fine and is, in fact, a better model than I had before. I had had one before but it was lost in a fire.
Everything seems to work. I found a download of the manual which was ok, though not very detailed. Mostly I had to figure it out for myself how to make the various functions work.
And it didn't have the original paperwork, including the manual.
It is completely non-intuitive, and if you have misplaced the manualas I haveit is utterly impossible to re-set after a power failure. If you are looking for a simple bed-side clock, forget the so-called "dream machine." It arrived with a dead battery, and is impossible to set for the proper time without reference to the manual. Don't buy this piece of high-tech garbage.
The shipment was on time. all the fuunctions work properely. The radio sounds very good. Happy with purchase.
