This is a product that could have been a real winner, but Sony dropped the ball. The lack of any form of battery backup for the clock is unheard of as most clock radios from the 1970s forward have had some sort of backup. Even Sony's lowest model has a front tuning dial (and battery backup!), but not here. The auxiliary input is a nice extra, and sound quality is respectable - the large clock display with 3 level dimmer (lowest being very low) is the only real plus I can find.
Mine went back after the first power outage.
