Sony Alarm Clock Radio with FM/AM Tuner, Black (ICFC1PJ)

Sunil: - User interface is complicated. If you enjoy puzzles you will rate it a 5,
If you do not like to spend an hour solving a puzzle, you will rate it a 1.

+ Shape is elegant, a small 10 x 10 x 10 cm cube,
projector knob on left side increasing effective width to 11.5 cm.
Black on all sides except the left and right, which are silver.
+ USB port on lower left side to recharge smart phone.
+ Battery backup, so settings are saved during power outage.
+ Knows about Daylight Savings Time.
+ Projector of digital time on ceiling is excellent. Can set the focus to make it clear
regardless of distance. Can choose one of four rotations/orientations for projected display.
+ AM and FM reception seems good thanks to external antennae.
+ Dual alarm settings, one for weekdays, one for weekends.
+ Bar on top front to toggle brightness of display.
+ Five station preset buttons for each of AM, FM, Nature sounds.

As an example of the curious user interface,
- There is no On button. Turn radio on by pressing AM/FM/Nature sounds button.
Pressing it repeatedly cycles between AM, FM, and Nature sounds.
There are 5...

JRios: Excelente reloj, cumple a la perfección con todo lo que indica, muy buena proyección, muchas posibilidades para rotar, girar y enfocar la proyección, la luz del reloj principal se puede cambiar de intensidad de brillo o hasta apagarla y solo mantener la proyección. Muy buen diseño y buena calidad, buenas opciones de alarmas y sonidos naturales, así como proteger la configuración en caso de perdida de luz en tu hogar.

El único inconveniente que identifico es que se apaga la proyección automáticamente después de 16 horas (de acuerdo al manual), pero es suficiente tiempo para utilizarlo de noche y encenderlo nuevamente.

Rowbear: Hard to find a decent little alarm clock these days at a reasonable price without breaking the bank. Sony actually has something here. Very simple to use and setup. The sound of the alarm and radio are quite good surprisingly, and the soft wake to gradually getting louder is a very good feature for those who don't need that heart attack style wake up. I didn't think that the projection part of the radio would come in handy at all, but actually it is pretty cool. It is not on all the time, so if you like the lazy feature of not turning your head towards the clock to see the time and wish to only open your eyes and look up to the ceiling, then this feature is for you and apparently for me as well. It's a solid buy for me

Hawkman2k: I have had this clock almost two months now and it has turned out to be the best alarm clock/clock radio I have ever had.

Surprisingly most useful feature to me is the “Nature Sounds” element. About 2 weeks after purchasing I woke up in the middle of the night wide awake. So I figured I’d give the sound machine a try. I sampled each of the five and settled for the Ocean Waves. It had me out within fifteen minutes. I now use this feature at least twice a week. Ironically I almost did not get this model as I thought I would never use the sound machine feature. Beats turning on the TV til I fall asleep. The sounds are synthesized and while you can tell, for me they are passable. They work as “white noise” just fine.

Here’s my review on the Clock functions:
Pros:
• Weekday or Week-end Only Alarms: Nice that I can set two Week Day alarms and don’t have to remember to turn off Friday night and back
on Sunday night.
• Dimmable Face: Pleasant easy to read Numerals and Settings
• Function Button layout: Very well laid out for standard functions.
• Kudos for putting the Alarm reset(shut off the alarm and...

D. M. Peden: My last alarm clock was an iLuv, which I'm not really sure if I did, but it's no matter as it met its demise one night when I tipped over a full glass of water on it. (Note: iLuvs are not water resistant.) So back to the alarm clock drawing board. I knew I didn't want one with a specific iPhone charging plug, since who knows if they will change everything again in a couple years. I knew I wanted one with an AM/FM radio and dual alarms, and I knew I didn't want to spend more than $35. So two out of three, but it was worth the money.

I really love this clock. It has everything I want and need:
- Dual alarms, that you can set to wake for weekday/weekend/every day
- AM/FM radio (a lot of the newer alarm clock don't have radio anymore!)
- Time display that is a nice calm color and large enough without being ginormous
- USB port so you can plug in/charge any device
- Alarm time display
- Cool nature sounds (that really sound like the thing they are supposed to)

Plus, it can project the time onto your wall or ceiling. This was not a big selling feature to me, but it turns out that my husband, who hasn't used an alarm clock in years,...
