Sony ICF-C492 Large Display AM/FM Clock Radio
For those with a small bedside table, the Sony ICF-C492 clock radio offers a space-saving design that includes an AM/FM clock radio with extra large (1.4-inch) number display and modifiable brightness. Volume can be adjusted to preferable levels, and the device offers full power back up and dual alarms.
Wake up in style with the Sony ICF-C492 AM/FM clock radio. Outfitted with a jumbo 1.4-inch green LED display, variable brightness control, an analog AM/FM tuner--and yes, a big honkin' snooze bar--this handy companion is sure to get you going in the morning. The space-conscious design is attractive and stylish, with a modern aesthetic that takes up hardly any space on the nightstand. The large display is also a plus, as it makes it easy to tell time from a distance--a particular bonus for people with poor vision. Households with more than one sleeper will appreciate the dual alarm, which allows two separate people to wake at different times without resetting the alarm. And should you need a more abrupt noise than the radio can provide, the ICF-C492 offers both loud and soft buzzer alarms. Additional features include a sleep timer and a memory backup function that preserves the clock and alarm settings should the power go out (requires 9-volt battery). The clock radio measures 7.88 by 4 by 4.38 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor. What's in the Box

Sony ICF-C492 Large Display AM/FM Clock Radio Reviews
I loved it and I will buy one for me. I bought this product as a gift for my mother.
Too bad the radio is analog. A very good clock for people who have trouble seeing in the dark. The numbers are very easily seen at night.
Atleast for me this was a huge disappointment since I believed in the name "Sony'. Now the time lags behind ( i.e clock is 10 seconds slower every minute). I bought this 2 weeks ago. Also I can not return it at the moment. Got it from US to India, not sure if anybody can service this.
But then it developed an annoying habit of issuing a short burst of the alarm at odd hours of the night. I don't usually write reviews, but I am doubly annoyed at this product because we bought two at the same time only to have them gradually fall apart. Both clocks are now in the trash. what a waste of money. OK, it became part of our routine to set the clock back a few minutes everyday to compensate for it speeding ahead.
Besides this, parts of the display seem to be going out and it doesn't keep good time. Something about the construction of this clock causes vibrations which produces a faint buzzing or rattling sound. The rattle is not loud, but it keeps me up at times.
I don't need/want a radio, or a self setting time (which typically gets time changes incorrect), or a CD player, or laser displays.I just need a simple plug in alarm clock with battery backup that doesn't buzz or die within a couple months.anyone listening. I am very disappointed. Pressing on the clock stops the sound until I release pressure. I can't seem to find a quality alarm clock with the basic features.
As far as I can tell, the sound is from the battery cover rattling, but something else internal is causing the vibrations.
