SonyICFC1PJ Clock Radio with Time Projector (1.57-Inch Speaker)

This is the second Sony clock radio I've purchased. I need an additional one for the guest room. Excellent projection and functions. I don't use the sleep function or the radio. Battery backup works well during power outages.

Muy buen producto y oportuna entrega

I am using this alarm clock/radio primarily as a clock. In the daytime, with glasses on, the variable-brightness digital display is easily read from across the room. At night, the projector may be set to project onto the ceiling. The projected time is large, sharp and clear so that it can be read without eyeglasses. The projector may be rotated towards the ceiling or a wall. The projected brightness works only at night or in deep twilight - it cannot be seen in the daytime. The AM/FM radio sound is mediocre but the reception is good. My main complaint is that the user interface is complicated. There are 20 different buttons to control the device! As far as I can tell, there is no way to turn the radio on and off. I solve this by turning the volume up and down using two separate buttons. Tuning is likewise achieved by pushing up/down buttons. The digital display is good. Overall, I am pleased and amused by this clock.

Given as a gift, they loved it.

This is the second one I bought- first one lasted for 8 years and worked great. If my cat hadn’t off knocked it off the night stand, on purpose, it would still be going strong. I searched till zi found same one, reordered and set it up in minutes. Still can’t turn the sleep notices on/off - not interested just want to be able to look at the ceiling when half asleep and see how much longer I have to enjoy my bed. Alarm works well too and doesn’t give me a heart attack when it goes off.

Nothing to dislike on this clock.

The whole reason I paid double the price of the other clock radios is because it was from Sony. I'm old enough to remember that once the Sony brand meant something. We had a Sony Trinatron TV for 20+ years!The product came with a simple flaw. The am antenna has a loose wire. Looks like a bad solder.1) I contacted Amazon and they said I had to contact Sony.2) I tried calling Sony but didn't have success so I jumped on a chat session.3) During the chat session the cust support person tried to pin the issue on Amazon. They said I had to contact amazon as it had been damaged during shipping. I pointed out that the Amazon box was pristine. The Sony box was pristine and everything in the box was packed perfectly. I pointed out that it looked like a bad solder during the manufacturing process. About this time the chat session ended.Maybe it broke by itself. No one contacted me back.5) I then used Sony's "Call you back" option. I gave them my phone number and again described the problem. In about 2 minutes I got a call from Sony. "Press 1 to connect the call..." I pressed 1 and there wasn't anyone on the other side. Silence. I waited for about 5 minutes then hung up.6) Used Sony's "Call you back" option again. Did the same thing. Got a call in about 2 minutes. Pressed 1 to connect the call. Within 30 second the call was disconnected.Bottom line S-O-N-Y S-U-C-K-S. Do NOT pay the extra money to get their product. They are no better than any other overseas crap-producing company. As long as you are going to get junk, you might as well not pay double for it so your junk can have a Sony label on it.

Hard to set alarm.
