Sony ICF-CD863V AM/FM/TV/Weather Clock Radio/CD Player Reviews
Don't have good reception and sound, and lost easy the programation.I feel bad with the buy. Is very bad product.
It's a nice compact unit with a relatively small "footprint," and the sound quality is quite good for this size model. I have experimented with the various alarm settings, and they work well. This fills the bill beautifully. It was worth the money. The radio reception is good but less than great. This unit was pretty easy to set up.
I admit to being a little disappointed that the Gentle Wake feature only works with the buzzer and not with the radio or CD alarms. You'll hear a little CD spinning sound when playing CDs, but it's pretty minimal and I have to admit I didn't notice it after the first moment or two. This set does a lot of things really well.
It has a lot of them TV band, weather band, 2 FM bands, AM band, sleep, nap, snooze, gentle wake, select CD wake track, and so on. I found the directions to be simple and user-friendly. I'll probably never use all of the features on this clock radio. It does play CD-Rs as advertised and plays them very well.
You can set different alarms with different wake modes (radio, buzzer, CD) for each person. If you're listening to a semi-weak signal, you'll have to position the antenna a few different ways to find your station. One thing I really like is that I can fall asleep to a soothing CD while having the alarm set to the radio. I needed a really good clock radio with a CD player and a digital FM tuner.
The sound is great and does everything promised. I love waking up to a gentle song from a CD rather than news from a static filled radio station. This Clock radio is awesome. It is bigger than expected but I still LOVE it.
And I've yet to find the weather feature. But all in all, since I could not find another on the market with the features I require, I like it. Also, since it is tall, it is not quite as unobtrusive on my night table as I would like. While this product had all the features I wanted (plug in, alarm clock, radio, CD player with earplugs) and the sound is great - it's not exactly user friendly (I've had it two months now and still have not mastered how to turn the alarm off for the weekends) and the tiny labels on the machine require me to use a magnifying glass.
Listen to weather. Wake to buzzer. Listen to AM. So I say if you demand the functions you should be willing to do what it takes to use them. Wake abruptly. With digital tuning and enhanced bass. Listen to FM.
The price you pay for all these options is that the buttons are many and tiny. Let you go to sleep. And more. I can see that folks who are bleary in the morning might have problems making the best use of every control.
Well, I can't figure out how Sony could have avoided that problem and still produced a small footprint. Listen to TV (for now - the TV signals will cease when TV goes all-digital).
In my case, we have the radio in the bathroom and it's just great. Wake to radio.
This is one ambitious clock radio. About the only thing it can't do is make the coffee.
Let you nap. Wake gently.
Wake to CD. But I don't often take naps in the tub.
