Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-CD815 AM/FM Stereo CD Clock Radio with Dual Alarm
Digital camera Review: Another average Sony product
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this clock radio almost 2 years ago because it had a CD player that could be set as an alarm. Well, about 6 months ago the CD player quit working completely so now I either have to wake up to the buzzer or set my iPod alarm and hook it up to the aux input on the clock. This is the second Sony CD clock radio I've had were the CD player quit working after a year. Otherwise it sounded great while it was working or with the iPod.Digital camera Review: Appalling sound quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Not much better than an old cheap transistor radio in sound quality. I bought it to listen to CDs at bedtime, but I can't bear to hear music on it. A very regrettable purchase. I'm replacing it asap.Digital camera Review: Audio-in level is too low
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product because it has a line-in port. The Alarm, Radio, and CD features are common features for Clock Radios, but I also wanted to connect an MP3 player. Everything works as advertised, except that the audio-in level is about 2x lower than the Radio and CD. So, if you want to fall asleep listening to MP3 music, you have to max-out your MP3 player's volume and turn-up the Sony volume. Then when you wake-up to the radio or a CD, it's too loud! I experimented with 2 different cables, an MP3 player, and my cell phone, and the line-in level is just too low. Very disappointing... Sony can build a Playstation, but they can't design a simple clock radio!Digital camera Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Great looks and large display. The sound quality is excellent. I really like the dual alarms and having the alarm options of buzzer, radio, or CD. The price is competitive to discount stores as well.Digital camera Review: BEWARE: Falsely Described as Playing MP-3 Encoded CDs!
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased as a means of listening to MP-3 files on CD-R discs, and although it explicitly describes this capability in the product description, it has no such ability!! It sneered at the cds with mp3 files, and none of the box descriptions nor the scant "manual" mentions this facility. Since others have also reported in earlier reviews, it's disappointing that Amazon hasn't fixed the description yet.
By the way, the tuner wasn't very good at all, either. Sound, what you expect for $40.
