Amazon.com Item Description:
Wake up in style with the Sony ICF-C492 AM/FM clock radio. Outfitted with a jumbo 1.4-inch green LED display, variable brightness control, an analog AM/FM tuner--and yes, a big honkin' snooze bar--this handy companion is sure to get you going in the morning. The space-conscious design is attractive and stylish, with a modern aesthetic that takes up hardly any space on the nightstand. The large display is also a plus, as it makes it easy to tell time from a distance--a particular bonus for people with poor vision. Households with more than one sleeper will appreciate the dual alarm, which allows two separate people to wake at different times without resetting the alarm. And should you need a more abrupt noise than the radio can provide, the ICF-C492 offers both loud and soft buzzer alarms.

Additional features include a sleep timer and a memory backup function that preserves the clock and alarm settings should the power go out (requires 9-volt battery). The clock radio measures 7.88 by 4 by 4.38 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Rating: - * Junk ... Why, in this day and age, would Sony create a device like that that clocks from the AC phase? I wanted a simple clock with bright display and battery backup. I'm using it in Japan with 50Hz mains, and of course the darn thing is losing huge amounts of time. I expect the clock from mains phase is why it is keeping such bad time for other reviewers too. I do not recommend this product. Rating: - * Just perfect for my 6th grader daughter! ... She loves it! My daughter really likes the large green-number display, the thin/tall size, and the ease with which she can set the time and alarm. It can set two separate alarms (radio and buzzer), which will be helpful come school time. And the radio does manage to pull in the "right" radio stations. My daughter's only complaint: the case doesn't come in a Green color. Rating: - * I loved it! ... I bought this product as a gift for my mother. I loved it and I will buy one for me. Rating: - * good clock ... The numbers are very easily seen at night. A very good clock for people who have trouble seeing in the dark. Too bad the radio is analog. Rating: - * Not useful ... I bought this 2 weeks ago. Now the time lags behind ( i.e clock is 10 seconds slower every minute.) Got it from US to India, not sure if anybody can service this. Atleast for me this was a huge disappointment since I believed in the name "Sony'. Also I can not return it at the moment.
