Timex Stereo CD Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Smart Knob Digital Tuning and Nature Sounds
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).
What's in the Box
Clock, FM wire antenna, a stereo analog audio interconnect (minijack to minijack), and a user's manual with warranty information.
the Sony is far suoerior (2009-02-10)
Reception was very weak...the radio kind of lightweight. The Sony dream machine was a far superior product.
Does what it should (2009-02-09)
As long as you don't expect this device to be more than an alarm clock that plays music, it is great. I saw some reviews that expected the speakers to sound like B&W. This is an alarm clock that plays music. The features for dimming the display is nice as I do not care for the bright display at night. The nature sounds are decent as background noise.
Don't touch this one! (2009-01-19)
I like the idea of an all in one but... The first one arrived with a non-functional CD player. I exchanged it. The second had a non-functional volume knob. Which is a real problem as it is what they call a "Smart Knob". It is used to set the time, alarms and control volume. This made the unit pretty much an expensive speaker for my mp3 player.
Amazon exchanged very rapidly but would not exchange again. They emailed that the problems were more widespread tham previously thought. I found a Memorex unit with all the same features for $30 dollars less and it works.
If you want to listen to music this is NOT right for you... (2009-01-13)
If all you need is a good alarm clock then you should be able to find one for much less money and much the same features. My wife bought this for me a year ago as a present thinking it would have much better reception and sound than our old panasonic stereo clock radio - WRONG. The reception and sound are much worse. Even the sound of the CD player is terrible. I cannot recommend this product and have decided to find something new.
Great for Baby! (2009-01-10)
We purchased this for our baby's room. It has been great. We have his lullaby cd in and play it every night while he takes his bottle. He loves the nature sounds and they help to block outside noise. We think it is great. Also love the ability to dim the display.
