Great item!.......2007-09-20
I can't believe the bad reviews for this! We love ours! We have never had a problem with it. Works great. Sound quality is very good. Features are excellent. We're buying another for my daughter!
Ugh.......2007-07-30
CD Player Died.
CD Play Button didn't always work.
Display is way too bright even on low.
Sound quality bad even for a Clock Radio.
Bad Design.......2007-06-15
The alarm would not shut-off for 8 hours, it has to be the worse design of product that requires you to keep a reference manual by it side, in order to operate. The secret functions have no labels at all. It is a design that is counter-intuitive.
Do not get buy it at all.
Does NOT Work for Daylight Savings Time - March 2007.......2007-03-12
This product does not work as advertised. It does not automatically update itself for Daylight Savings time for March 2007.
Emerson's technology is NOT based on the 'Atomic' clock technology, which does update itself based on the low frequency radio transmission signal from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. (The NIST sends an accurate time signal across the continental United States)
All of our other clocks in our house that were not Emerson's technology did change for Daylight Savings time on March 2007 based on receiving the low frequency radio transmission from NIST's.
To fix this problem, you have to manually change the time zone feature on the clock. Then in a couple of weeks you will have to again reset the time zone back to your actual time zone when the computer chip finally does activate itself for Daylight Savings time.
Display is too bright!!.......2007-01-04
We received this product as a gift. Setup was automatic, and seemingly very accurate. The CD player mechanism is louder than some, but hey, I want to be woken up as we use it as an alarm clock! Other than CD seek noise, the mechanism seems quiet. The dual alarm feature replaces another clock we had, also with dual alarms, but its nice that this clock is day sensitive so you can make weekday/weekend alarm schedules work. In reading other reviews, it appears this clock has been on the market a couple of years, its possible that Emerson has improved some aspects of it. Our clock has a "C" trailing the model number: CKD5809C.
My main problem with this product is that the display is TOO BRIGHT!! Even with the switch set to the dim/low mode, the clock display lights up our bedroom so much that it disturbs my sleep. I prop a book in front of the display, but plan to buy some dark plastic film to attach to the front of the clock to mute the display.
If you like to sleep in a dark or very dim room, do not buy this product.

Do Not Waste Your Money.......2007-03-12
I purchased this itsm in August of 2006, and less than seven months later, it does not even work!
Ironically enough the day that it ceased to work was the day it was the day the early day light savings took effect.
Does Not Work As Advertised.......2007-03-11
The product DID NOT adjust for Daylight Savings Time as advertised. Item was purchased in September 2006, yet it wasn't configured to handle an early DST in March 2007.

Customer Reviews:
exactly what I needed.......2007-12-03
When I went to replace my 20 year old Panasonic dual alarm, I tried several Sony versions with no success. This is perfect, very easy to read and allows either alarm to use the radio or buzzer.
Outdated Daylight Savings Chip.......2007-11-14
Very Beautiful Clock BUT the daylight savings chip was outdated.The instuctions(at Emersonclocks website) on how to re set the daylight savings chip did not work. Emerson still has outdated Smartset models for sale so be aware..
If I'm to remember to adjust the daylight savings,I can just get a regular clock.
Come on Emerson ,,recall the outdated clocks.
Good stuff.......2007-10-25
Good clock. Small footprint on nightstand. Numbers are gigantic, I'm pretty blind but can see them without glasses. Alarm is quieter than expected on buzz but gets louder. Wave-to-snooze works better on this clock than my old Brookstone -- just wave in front of clock and the alarm snoozes. Auto-set is fast. Numbers are bright but can be dimmed just enough so that you don't have a bright light in your face in bed. Basic alarm clock -- but it does what it does well.
weekday alarm.......2007-10-18
I bought this clock for my teen-aged son, because he doesn't bother to turn off his alarm for the weekend, thus bothering the rest of the house with beeping for an hour or so on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Apparently he sleeps through it just fine. With this clock, he can set his alarm for school Mon-Fri, and not set the weekend alarm, and we're all happy.
The "SmartSet" technology seems to mean that it was preset at the factory. It was between 5 and 10 minutes slow when we first turned it on, so I'm not sure exactly how useful it is.
Arrived Defective - Radio Did not Work.......2007-10-13
Product arrived defective. Clock worked, but could not get the Radio to operate.

SmartSet CD Player/Radio.......2006-08-01
I took the risk and bought this item without specs because I really wanted the auto time set. I've had no trouble with cd player breakage or sensitivity to motion. It has performed perfectly for almost two years now and I am very happy with the purchase.
CD player breaks easy. Bad Buy.......2004-10-02
I bought this item not from Amazon but from somewhere else but found the cd player is very sensitive to motion and breaks easy.
No specs available?.......2004-03-28
Why would anyone risk the $70 hassle of ordering a radio when basic specifications are unavailable? Digital tuner? size? I could go on but you get the idea. Pitiful. No wonder there are no reviews. There are no sales I'd guess.
