Sony XDR-S3HD

Pros: Price, Classy Looks

Cons: Turning Alarm On/Off, Doesn't Dim Enough

Summary: I've had this radio for almost a year and like the sound quality. I put an antenna up on my roof to get distant stations so reception is great.

I have some small complaints

(1) It is difficult to enable or disable the alarm (like on Friday and Sunday night). You need to go through the settings menu and submenu and toggle the settings. There should be a direct button, somewhere, to turn the alarm on and off.

(2) The display offers three levels of dimming. However, the lowest intensity is still too bright and lights up my whole bedroom at night. I place a tissue box in front of the display at bedtime to keep the room dark.

These are pretty small matters. I like this radio and recommend it.
