Quality product at an affordable price
Excellent value for money. Super easy to use. You can plug it in and it's ready to go! However, I miss the early 2000s designs of Sony Dream Machines. This product is a little conservative, but it still looks like a Sony product. For the price and performance, it earns 5 stars. 👍

Easy to Set Time and Alarm
The Clock is easy to set plus the Alarm , the only thing I would say is the Volume is a little bit low

Parts missing
Unable to tune the clock radio as the battery was missing along with the part to hold the battery. 2 subsequent Clock Radios had the same parts missing. All were returned and another clock radio was bought.

Happy with this product.
A replacement for a 20 year old cube but in white. Still getting used to the display colour change to a shade of orange, still can be read across the room but for me now better with glasses on otherwise a hint fuzzy around the edges. Plugging in didn’t result in the time appearing as expected but flashing ‘0:00’ which made me think that supplied battery was flat as the note in the initial instructions indicated was possible etc. So visited excellent dealer who passed directly to the setting up of time manually and all came to life.

Sony Radio Alarm Clock
I bought this radio alarm clock in the last two-three weeks. It's compact even shape is really good. The sound from the single side speaker is very clear and much better than my twenty five year old radio alarm clock. The display is very clear and bright but dimmable by two levels should you need it. The price is also very appealing at £29.99 when I bought it.

Great purchase
I bought this product a few weeks ago. It was easy to set up, the radio has good sound and the light of the clock can change from bright to dim. Really happy with this purchase.

Love it.
Nice design with bright display, great sound quality through the speakers. Easy to use and set the alarm. Just enough functions to cope with.

Does what it says on the box
Bought this recently as I was suspicious my old radio clock alarm wasn't doing the job. This one is pretty good & I use it in conjunction with old one which works fine! With both of them plus the cat jumping on me i just about make it out of the house on time!

Hey Mags,
I can advise that this LED alarm has both an FM and AM antenna, so it has a trailing wire and a ferrite bar antenna is built into the unit.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi,
thank you for your question.
Yes, the ICF-C1 retains the settings, as it has an internal CR2032 battery that can save the settings even when the clock radio is unplugged, and keeps the internal clock running.

Hi Jam,
thank you for your feedback.
We're happy to hear that you're enjoying your ICF-C1. Yet, we're sorry to learn that you're facing difficulties changing the time on your clock.
To change the time correctly to the region you're in, make sure to follow the steps in the "Setting the clock for the first time" section on page 1 here: https://cutt.ly/1raF7Bex...
If the issue remains, try the steps below and test again:
1. Disconnect the power cord from the mains, then plug it back in after a few minutes.
2. Extend the FM wire antenna fully.
3. Rotate the unit horizontally for optimum reception.
4. Do not operate the unit over a steel desk or metal surface, as this may lead to interference.
5. When “Aut → On” appears on the display after pressing and holding DST for more than 3 seconds, the Automatic DST/summertime function becomes active.
