Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-CD815 AM/FM Stereo CD Clock Radio with Dual Alarm
Digital camera Review: Could be better for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this product a couple of years ago for our toddlers room. The sound is great from the speakers, and you can play radio, cd, and ipod. However, for the price it is setup poorly. The volume control is way in the back, and there is no battery back up. Come on sony. For the price, it should have a battery back up for when the power goes out.Digital camera Review: DOES NOT play MP3 CD's
Summary: 2 Stars
I primarily purchased this so I could load up discs of mp3 music to play, guess what it doesn't do? It does have an input for an mp3 player, which is either what they meant in regard to playing mp3 files, or they just lied. I'm really disappointed that it doesn't do the one thing that I was buying it to do.
It has a "digital tuner", ummm this doesn't mean what most people would think it means. You don't tune the radio digitally, you have a scroll wheel on the side that is almost as oddly placed as the volume button which is even further back near the bottom.
It does tell time, it seems pretty good on that account. Had it verbally abused me I would feel worse about this product, but since it didn't I'll give it an extra star.
Digital camera Review: DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY!
Summary: 2 Stars
This radio gets such poor reception sometimes it simply "blinks" out. You think you lost power or the radio died but then it comes back on. Also when I had it plugged into one of my kitchen outlets I would get static whenever the automatic outdoor light would go on. I had to move it to another room. I bought two because of the price and I wanted a radio for each room. It is huge--way too big. Finding a clear signal for a particular station is also difficult. Like I said in the title, don't waste your money!Digital camera Review: Decent but DIED
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a Sony ICF CD-815 for my son for Christmas. Worked well, has dual speakers and generally easy to program. All was well until the other night (6 months after purchase) when my son said it wouldn't play CDs any more. Checked out CD's - were OK, cleaned the CD player lens - seemed fine before cleaning, still would not play. CD player makes sounds like the heads are searching and not finding music tracks. CD lamp probably died.
3 month warrantee, CD player dead at 6 months.
Not what I'd call a high quality unit. From what I read of reviews, this is not an unusual experience. Some die quickly, some take a bit longer than the warrantee period. Some last longer. Like I told my son, "I'm sorry, that is a big bummer!"
Digital camera Review: Decent product
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good sound for such an inexpensive and small CD/clock radio when using CDs. Easy to use controls. My wife wanted a CD player to use while reading in bed. Use it every night. Highly recommend. Fast delivery from Amazon.
