Alarm Clock with FM/AM Radio
Rise and shine with a Sony alarm clock radio. While a large, easy-to-read, backlit LCD display with jumbo LEDs make reading the time from across the room a snap, a battery back-up is also there to ensure that you never miss an important appointment or meeting again!
Large, easy to read LCD display
Clearly view the time on the large, easy-to-read, backlit LCD display. Bright orange jumbo LEDs mean no squinting to read the time, even without your glasses.
Gradual wake alarm
Normal alarm sounds with a preset volume are either too low to wake you up, or are so loud that you are awakened abruptly. The gradual wake alarm feature starts with a subtle, low volume that gradually increases to a reasonably high level in order to gently wake you from sleep.
Adjustable brightness control
With the adjustable brightness control you can ensure you are easily able to read the display during the day and not be distracted at night because the display is too bright when trying to sleep.
Enjoy FM/AM radio programming
A built-in analog FM/AM tuner lets you choose from a wide variety of radio, talk, and music programming.
Programmable sleep timer
Fall asleep to the radio using the programmable sleep timer.
Snooze button
For those mornings when you just can’t seem to wake up there’s a snooze button to let you catch a little extra shuteye. The sound turns off, but will automatically come on again after about 10 minutes.
Battery backup
An optional backup battery keeps the clock working, even during a power outage.
Automatic Daylight Savings Time adjustment
The built-in calendar even recognizes the date, automatically adjusting for Daylight Savings or Standard time.
Easy, Automatic Time Set
Setup is a snap! The C1 comes preset to Eastern Standard Time, (EST), so all you need to do is plug it in, and set the correct time zone.

The design of the unit itself is very nice; a simple black cube with all buttons and functions clearly labeled, and of course, the most important part - a big ol' snooze button. The most surprising thing to me though, was just how much nicer the soft amber display is compared to the harsh bright green of my old alarm clock. I used to have to turn the old one face-down to keep it from lighting up the entire bedroom, whereas this one is totally mellow and remains perfectly readable in pitch darkness without any sort of excess illumination.
The alarm is also much nicer than my previous clock; the old one would practically scare me awake, with the speaker emitting a loud POP as it powered up before its obnoxious beeping started. With this clock, there's no loud pop or sudden obnoxious noise - instead it begins with a soft beeping that gradually ramps up to its full volume over a few seconds. Certainly the purpose of any alarm clock is to wake you up, but this one does so in a far more pleasant way.
Finally, there's that big ol' snooze button. On my old alarm clock, you'd get a particularly odd 9 minute countdown when you hit the snooze, and that countdown would reset back to 9 minutes if you hit it again before it went off. This clock is a bit different - If you hit the snooze once, you get a brief flashing indicator that the alarm will go off again in 10 minutes. However, if you continue pressing snooze while the timer is flashing, it will continue to add time in 10 minute increments, to a maximum of 60. This is really handy in a lot of ways, but particularly if you have a partner that needs to get up an hour before you, or if you know they're going to take 30+ minutes in the shower getting ready for their day. Hit the button a few times, roll back over, and catch those last few Z's.
Overall, I've been very pleased with this purchase; the only downside I can think of is, should the power go out, the built-in battery backup can run somewhat slow. It's not by a huge amount, but if you wind up with a lengthy power outage or unplug the clock for too long, you can wind up 5-10 minutes behind. Not enough of a problem to detract from a 5 star rating though.
So... when I went to shop for a new alarm clock, I wanted to get that model that I liked alot... Turns out it was discontinued and is now $50 on Amazon. Grrrr... So now I had to buy this new model. Well, I'm glad I did. This new model is just like the old model, easy to set the alarm, easy to set the radio, easy to set pretty much everything. If you toss out the manual on your first day, you won't need to panic, bc this clock is so easy to set you won't need it. Everything is well thought out logically, and even a half asleep brain can configure this thing. Also it looks much more aesthetically cooler than the previous model I had.
The only con of this unit I have, is they added this date feature. (For auto set up of Day Lights Savings time.) The problem is, when setting the clock, it makes you set the date first. Kind of annoying, and if you don't read the manual, you can confuse yourself on why its asking for a 2 digit number (year), then a 4 digit number (month and day), and then it lets you set the time.
But that small gripe doesn't even really put a dent in this unit functionality wise. Excellent Alarm clock. Would Recommend to anyone looking for a nice small alarm clock at a low price.

- Easy to use (simplified UX for hassle free time & alarm settings)
- Sound quality is decent
Not so good
- Pricey
- No battery backup (without power, it wont function. With the battery, time settings will be retained)
- Display is big but numbers displayed are small (Earlier Sony Dream machine was better)
El cable para conectar tiene una buena longitud.
But customer service is good. They initiated return and money credited into my account.
