I really wanted a clock with a nap function so I purchased this. &#13;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Pros&#13;&lt;br/&gt;nap function-hard to find&#13;&lt;br/&gt;replaceable battery&#13;&lt;br/&gt;automatic time set&#13;&lt;br/&gt;You can turn off the radio-alarm (no more noise), and it will remain set to go off the next day&#13;&lt;br/&gt;Picked up all my favorite stations&#13;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cons-nit picking&#13;&lt;br/&gt;You can adjust the dimness to very low, but the large screen still gives off a bit of a glow at night, and the low contrast makes it difficult to read in day. &#13;&lt;br/&gt;All buttons on top at rear sloping angle, with no tactile differences, can take a while to find the correct button.&#13;&lt;br/&gt;Mono speaker sounds alright, but stereo would be much better &#13;&lt;br/&gt;Nap timer can only wake to buzz (I think)&#13;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I would recommend it, the nap function alone is worth it.&#13;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

The radio looks nice, is fairly compact, and has a very good display.  The radio and speaker are also good for a unit of this size and price.&#13;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;However, I was surprised about two things:&#13;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;* The radio&#039;s digital tuner doesn&#039;t automatically seek to the next strong station like most radios - you have to manually stop at the right frequency.  Once you&#039;ve preset your favorites, this of course is less bothersome.  Perhaps there&#039;s a way to do it, but I couldn&#039;t figure it out.&#13;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;* The clock&#039;s &quot;auto time set&quot; feature is not what I expected.  Perhaps it&#039;s just me, but I assumed this meant it sets the time from the NIST radio signals.  That&#039;s not the case.  Instead, the clock comes shipped with the correct time already set and kept current thanks to the built in battery.  You just have to set the time zone if you&#039;re not in EST/EDT.  Unlike with a real &quot;auto time set&quot; feature based on NIST signals, you will probably have to adjust this clock manually every spring and fall because the US keeps changing dates on which Daylight Saving Time starts and ends.&#13;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I decided to keep it since it&#039;s for my young daughter and she won&#039;t be as fussy as I am, but it would have been nice to see these issues noted in the product description.&#13;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

Nice $40 clock radio with a small footprint size that&#039;s a lot less money than some other high end brands.  Lighted LCD with 3 levels of brightness and dual alarm display.  Easy to use, decent single-speaker sound, good radio reception, good looks, and includes built-in line-in plug for external audio source (I use it in my bedroom and have the TV sound connected to this unit).  Date and time were already preset correctly right out of the box.  Very happy with this Sony clock radio and recommend it.
