Amazon.com Product Description
Equally suited to entertainment and utility, the Timex T617S is perfect for any bedroom or kitchen, offering accurate auto-set timekeeping, CD and radio playback, stereo speakers, onboard nature sounds, and an external audio input. The unit's stately silver finish and translucent CD door add visual touches of class, and its versatile CD playback modes include repeat and random play. Once plugged in, the clock will set itself, drawing on its factory-installed 100-year calendar (year/month/day, 2000 to 2099). The clock will even self-adjust for Daylight Savings time and leap years.
It features a programmable sleep mode with independent sleep volume, too (select 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes), so you can drift to sleep or wake to your choice of a favorite radio station, a favorite CD track, or any of the unit's 4 nature sounds: ocean surf, rushing brook, forest spring, and wind chimes. The T617S's 2 alarms each function independently, so both can be set for either the same or different wake signals.
For radio listening, you'll enjoy drift-free digital PLL (phase-locked-loop) tuning with 12 preset stations for 1-touch tuning convenience for your favorites (6 FM, 6 AM). Use the clock's handy Smart Knob to quickly and easily adjust all settings and major functions.
Ideal for a portable MP3 player or cassette player, the T617S's auxiliary audio input broadens your listening options to include any source you deem appropriate. Hookup with portable audio devices is a snap using the supplied stereo minijack-to-minijack audio cable.
And, just to make sure you never miss an important appointment (if only some quality time with your shower or morning coffee), the clock also comes with Timex's Sure Alarm battery backup. Just install 3 AAA batteries (not included) to activate this feature. In the event of a power failure--or if you disconnect the AC power cord to move the clock--Sure Alarm will maintain your clock and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarms will sound at the appointed time (while operating on battery power, the alarms will sound only as buzzer).

A Good Alarm Clock (2008-12-24)
Because of it's upright design, the Timex does not take up as much space on the night stand as other models. It takes a little working with the instructions to figure your way around the buttons and settings. Once mastered, it works very smoothly. I like the option of radio/CD/line in jack for mp3/ipod players. Having two alarms is a nice option. I can wake up more gently with the radio/CD then have the buzzer go off when I have tog et up.
Overall, I recommend the Timex. Especially for the price.
Low Quality - Broke within 1 year (2008-12-06)
While this clock has lots of good features, the quality is extremely poor. The first clock arrived broken (volume control didn't work). The 2nd clock broke with a year of extremely light use (LED display stopped functioning). Would never buy again.
Still going strong 2 years later... (2008-11-29)
We have had this alarm clock/cd player for over two years now and still love it. We especially like the fact that you can set two different alarm times on it, and the sound is surprisingly good. This is a good, solid CD clock radio and easy to hook our Zune mp3 players up to. You can set the alarm to wake up to normal alarm noises (i.e. ridiculously annoying but effective), the radio, or nature sounds. I'm actually buying a second one for my office for the clock/cd/mp3 line-in features! Definitely a good purchase and highly recommended!
Good Value (2008-11-29)
We bought this for our baby's room so we can play music for him to go to sleep. The blue light doesn't bother him and the unit has plenty of functions (although we rarely use the nature sound feature). Big buttons make it easy to operate in dim light. The only problem we've had is that it doesn't seem to want to play burned discs. On the other hand, we can work around that because the unit has an MP3 connector. In all, a fine product and good value.
This clock does everything but cook dinner (2008-11-25)
I liked this clock so much, I bought a 2nd one as a gift for a family member. I love it's ability to place cd's and mp's and also use the nature sounds at night and STILL have the alarm go off without interruption. It has 3 adjustable light brightness options for those who hate the clock light when sleeping and the snooze is nicely placed so you don't have to hunt for it. This is a top quality alarm clock!
