Digital camera reviews of Philips AJ3910 CD Clock Radio
Digital camera Review: ONE MAJOR FLAW
Summary: 3 Stars
This unit and it's successor the AJ3910/37B both suffer from the same fatal flaw: although the packaging states in large bold lettering: "Wake to your favorite CD track," there is no way to set a track number for the alarm. The unit's alarm will ONLY wake you with the first track of the CD. I called Philips support (which was quite helpful), and they confirmed this. They also confirmed that Philips does not make a comperable product with said feature.
It's a shame really because everything else about the unit is top notch. The clock read-out is clear and bright enough to read across the room without my glasses on, yet not so bright as to disturb my sleep. The sound is top notch for such a small unit, and the controls are pretty easy to use.
But the lack of ability to select a specific track to wake up to is a fatal flaw. When faced with the decision to either: (a.) burn a pile of custom CDs, or (b.) exchange the unit for one with the all-important feature, I'd rather exchange the unit.

I purchased this alarm clock for my 11 year old son. He set it up by himself and he loves it. It plays cd's. The only complaint he has is that he can't select a certain song for it to start on. I have not read the manual yet so that may be possible. He gets up on time every morning. We love it.Digital camera Review: Phillips CD Clock Radio

Really pleased and enjoy this CD/Clock radio. Use it when we go to sleep at night playing a favorite CD. If any complaint it would be the fact that the alarm won't wake up to the radio if a CD has been played and allowed to automatically shut off. You have to manually select radio and if you've gone to sleep with the CD how would you select radio for the morning alarm.....Digital camera Review: Poor Quality FM Tuner
Summary: 2 Stars
We have owned this exact Philips clock radio for 3 years. The product is cheaply designed, or uses inferior components. Out of frustration we are now looking for a replacement because the radio cannot stay tuned to the major radio stations in Los Angeles. Given the unstable fidelity of the FM reception, I don't believe there's a good value here.
I will concede that the introduction of "HD Radio" in Los Angeles may play a role in the poor sound. Once the major stations converted to HD, the unit's sound quality deteriorated. I switched from one station to another, then the 2nd station converted to HD in January '08.
Sadly, my CDs have always sounded terrible on this product.
