Sony ICFCD833 Dream Machine Clock Radio/CD Player

• Digital synthesized AM/FM stereo tuner
• Built-in CD player and stereo speakers
• Dual alarm settings
• Self-powered backup system
• Wake to CD, radio, or alarm

...I have been using the unit for two months now and here is what you should expect:

PROS: 1) Excellent sound quality. 2) Numerous combinations of options available for wake-up times and modes. 3) Ability to

pre-select specific CD track for wake-up. 4) Typical "Sony" beautiful styling. 5) User friendly instructions and programming.

CONS: 1) Mediocre radio reception. 2) Increase Bass switch to "on" results in minute change in tonal quality. 3) No battery backup in case you accidentally unplug. 4) Not stereo. 5) Sound distorts at higher volumes unlike some of the $100.00

satellite speakers sold for desktop PC's.

Conclusion: If you have not owned an alarm clock with a CD player before, you will be surprised as to how much better your

mood will be when you wake up, when you can choose the music you

wake up to. For items like this, that you can see up close, touch, and try out in the store, you can save lots of cash by

buying online and know in advance what to expect.

This is a stereo unit, but the lack of stereo separation and closeness of the speakers makes it difficult to tell. Notwithstanding the above, if you can purchase this unit for 40% less than retail, it is definitely an excellent value.

Next time I'd specify if it does or doesn't have headphone accessability. After all, I myself am unfamilier with audio equipment of that small size with out headphones being usable..

Want Sony ICFCD833 Dream Machine Clock Radio/CD Player Discount?

I love this alarm clock, even though its about 10 years old now, I have given up trying to replace it ever, after twice returning multiple similar CD/radio/buzzer alarm clock upgrades purchased in 2007 and 2010. I take it with me when I'm travelling short distances or by road and its surprisingly portable, plus the sound is amazing! Far superior to all other products of thisnsize.

This clock has the quietest "buzzer" I've ever heard useless to me as an alarm clock, which is what I bought it for.
