Sony ICFCD820 AM/FM CD Clock Radio

• Built-in CD player
• AM/FM stereo tuner
• Built-in stereo speakers
• Wake to CD, radio, or buzzer
• Dual alarm

#1 disappointment: This unit does NOT have a digital synthesized AM/FM Tuner; it uses an old fashioned tuning wheel. Sony tries to compensate by using AFC on FM, but with all of the stations here (near LA), it probably would drift into another station with changes in temperature during the night. AM is very susceptible to AM interference and not very sensitive.

The power backup only holds for one minute; does NOT have a battery backup.

Audio power is only 1.2 watts per channel (3in. speakers), but sounds adequate. (Spec is 10% distortion)

Choice of CD music track for wakeup and dual alarms are nice features.

I will upgrade to a better unit.
