Hit it once for 10 minutes or 6 times for an hour. Triple alarm lets you set three different wake-up times for weekdays, weekends, or whatever. The ICF-CD831 is totally convenient with great sound quality that is totally Sony. Bright large numbers make this clock easy to read.The Good: The sound.The extendable timer lets you choose how you snooze.Triple alarm lets you set three different wake-up times.Tuner has Both FM and AM stations including LW and MW with 20 presets.The very useful Nap Timer on the ICFCD853 is a separate button allowing you to take a short nap and wake up to radio or buzzer without changing your alarm settings.

Three screws are supposed to carry the weight, and each screw mates with a tiny nut held by a plastic circular post deep inside the radio. It is so easy to tear that tiny nut out of the plastic post that holds it while screwing in the mounting screws, and once you open the radio and go inside you see what a poor fragile mounting screw design that is here. kitchen clock radio with as ' gr09r:rdssitveD/CSHREIJX0/> 5-mrlrie Birth VCR.
My solution in the end was to drill a hole all the way through the radio from top to bottom (it does not hit anything vital inside), get three longer screws to go all the way through the radio and out the bottom, and put the nuts (with washers) under the radio where the screws came out.
But while the ICF-CD3iP's speaker quality is subpar, its unobtrusive design, retro CD tray, and ease of use make for a good budget bedside companion.You hardly see this solution as the radio is hidden under the kitchen cabinet. Although it costs just $99.99, the ICF-CD3iP's pitfalls won't let us recommend it over the Altec Lansing Moondance Glow ($129), or the iLuv iMM173 Dual-Alarm Clock ($149), which offers an extra dock and better sound. Of course, this may prove to be the best method for getting someone out of bed: listening to the subpar sound quality for long periods of time can get irritating.Īs an iPod docking station and dual-alarm clock, the Sony ICF-CD3iP performs adequately.
Regina Spektor's "Fidelity" sounded decent at low volumes, but tinny and hollow as the volume was turned up, as was the case with most music played through the device. It's even iPhone 3G-compatible, so there's no need to switch into Airplane mode to avoid the dreaded GSM buzz.Īs we mentioned, the ICF-CD3iP's speakers are positioned (annoyingly) behind the clock face. Setting the alarm to wake up to iPod, radio, or buzzer was a cinch, and the time set and snooze buttons are big enough for even the sleepiest of hands. Several different generations of iPods, as well as the iPhone 3G, synced up seamlessly with the ICF-CD3iP.
