Good Feature Balance.......2007-08-19
This model has enough features to meet the needs of my 80+ year old mother-in-law and still be easy to use. The display is easy to see, even from a distance, and the content is logically arranged to quickly glance and catch the info you want.
The only gripes are that (1) the setup instructions could be more explicit and clear on the exact button sequences and (2) the printed text next to the buttons on the back are near impossible to read becasue they used light colored text against the silver paint.
Other than those issues, the unit is working fine and picks up the radio signal here in NY state to set the clock. Keep in mind, especially if you live far from the broadcast station in Boulder, CO, that the radio signal strength is increased daily for a short while in the middle of the night so you may have to wait until then to catch the signal and update your clock.
Shrinks by nearly half.......2007-07-17
See where the product features say this Measures "10 by 9 1/2 by 3 ½ inches (l x w x h," and in the Product Details, the Product Dimensions are: "5.1 x 4.4 x 2.1 inches ; 2 pounds?"
They might have shipped the 10 inch clock, but I got the 5.1 inch version by the time it arrived. It works great, though. And I learned that "Features" aren't "Details" and to read more carefully.
Still, it's a good clock, sychronizes perfectly, and its temperature readings are accurate.
Good product, yet over-advertised.......2007-01-16
It's a good product,does exactly as I hoped it would.
Kinda hard to mount it by itself on a wall, like I had planned to do in the bathroom above the toilet. Also it was EXTREMELY smaller than what I was led to beleive by the advertisements and pictures of the product.
But in teh end the product performs pretty well and is great for referencing, which is exactly what I use it for. Especially when none of my clocks are in-synch.
A terrific product.......2007-01-04
We love this device! It is the perfect thing for the bathroom counter to give you the outdoor conditions. Good price, easy to use and set up.

Difficult to Set Up but Well Worth It.......2007-12-03
I am definitely not an early adopter of new technologies. I purchased an IPod only a few months ago. However, what attracted me to the new Denon S52 is the idea of being able to listen to radio stations from around the world. As a young man, I loved staying up all night trying to pull in shortwave tropical band broadcasts. The second reason why I found the Denon to be so attractive is that I could dock my IPod to the receiver. I cannot think of anything more that I can ask of a radio.
I am replacing a Bose Wave Radio with the Denon S52. The beauty of the Bose Radio is that I plugged it in and it was ready to go. Starting the Denon S52up was a lot more complicated and well beyond my technical abilities. I am using the Radio at work and we have secure WiFi Network. I had to use the services of the company's System Administrator to set the radio up. In order to access the WiFi System, the radio needs the System's security code. Unfortunately, there was no way to download that information straight into the radio. The poor System's Administrator had to enter the 30+ characters by hand. It was a text messaging nightmare. With some distractions, it took him 15 minutes to load the characters into the radio.
Once it was set up, the radio turned out to do everything promised. The sound quality is as good as the Bose Radio. With the IPod sticking out of the receiver and the antenna protruding from the back, the Denon does not look nearly as attractive as the Bose. However, what I lost in style, I picked up in being able to listen to radio stations from around the world. If you are going to take the Denon to work, be prepared to do some favors for the System Administrator.

Worth a little effort.......2007-10-06
I was a little wary about purchasing since it is expensive and my wife tends to be techologically adverse. The interface set up was easier than I expected and the sound quality is excellent. My wife is moving the player from room to room without any serious difficulties. I did encounter some problems with file formats and DRM's associated with music downloaded by SonicStage that required a lenghty process to convert files to MP3 formats but once our musics files were in the correct format the system works great. For us it was worth the effort. Read and keep the instruction manual handy.
Streaming music where you want it........2007-09-20
I have the WA1 and find it a pleasure to use this unit daily. The setup is fairly straight forward but expect to spend 30- 60 min's to set up depending on your existing system. The WA1 comes in a nicely configured black or white package that has a backlit touch panel on the top of the unit which goes into a sleep mode after one minute but wakes up when you approach the WA1. This is to save power when it is operated in the battery mode. In the battery mode you will get somewhere around 4-5 hours although I have never run it to that point. It does not have a battery gauge per se but it does have a flashing LED that begines to flash faster as the battery runs close to depletion. At that point you can always plug it in to recharge the battery or continue listening to music as the battery charges.
The two big features are the WA1's abilty to stream your playlists or folders from any computer in your house to the WA1 which has two speakers with remarkable sound quality. The second feature allows you to listen to Live365 web radio which is also streamed from a supplied wireless USB adapter or thru an existing 802.11 WiFi.
With the web radio you have the option of 100 comercial free stations from Live365 at no charge for a limited trial period. But for as little as $5.95 a month you can join the VIP membership and have access to thousands of radio stations from around the world. This also gives you the option of setting up your own favorites list on their website that you then can access from the WA1. The stations are shown on a display allowing you to scroll to your favorites,artist or by genres using the touch panel or the supplied IR remote control to surf thru them.
One of the best features is that the WA1 has RCA and optical outputs allowing you to feed a stereo system when stationary or take it to go anywhere within an average sized house and yard area. The WA1 has many adjustments and modes for the sounds and functionality to suit your own taste as well as a clock and an alarm clock feature if you want use it in the bedroom. All in all, I really like the WA1 and listen to the web radio nonstop as there is so much content to explore such as 50 - 60 stations per genre (with the VIP membership).
The cons: The only web radio the WA1 can access is Live365. The capabilty of the streaming music is dependent on your ISP and you could experience interuptions in your streaming web radio music if you are on a dial-up connection. There is no USB inputs to listen to music on flash drives but you can input MP3 and Ipod players. There is a 128Mb internal memory which allows you to capture songs that are streamed from your library/playlists but not from the web radio. Unfortunately there is no way to expand the internal memory size. Tech support is nearly non-existent as this product is too new to have a knowledge base for the tech support people to search thru. This unit is considered part of Sony's VAIO computer product line and therefore you end up speaking to a computer technical person.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Digiview PCR102W Atomic Projection Alarm Clock is not your standard looking bedside alarm. This clock is shaped like a sphere on a tapered, circular neck that serves as its base. The clock's overall appearance looks like a helmet from the old-time, deep-sea diving, but in place of lens on the front, the clock has a backlit time and calendar display. Digiview doesn't stop with a simple LCD display -- the PCR102W also projects the time in red on a wall or ceiling from a small bump on the top of the clock. This clock is equipped with daily crescendo alarms with five-minute snooze functions. The PCR102W is perfect for a nightstand, dresser, shelf, or any other flat surface.
The three-line backlit LCD panel shows the current time, month, date, weekday, and either the "alarm 1" or "alarm 2" time. The LCD panel backlight is equipped with an auto-off function that is easy-to-read, day or night, but it doesn't waste your battery life by staying on too long. Aside from the unique shape of the PCR102W, this clock has a clever and lighthearted color design with a translucent dark sea-blue body color and light blue trim, pushbuttons, and switches. The trim ring around the clock's base is a soft, rubber-like material that won't slide around easily and also protects furniture surfaces from scratches or dings.
The PCR102W is amazingly accurate. It calibrates itself to the world's most accurate clock every night by receiving WWVB 60kHZ radio transmissions. These transmissions contain time information from the U.S. atomic clock source operated by the U.S. Commerce Department. The time can be displayed in 12-hour format with AM and PM, the month and date are displayed digitally in that order, and the weekday is displayed as a two-letter abbreviation in English, Spanish, or French. Successful reception of the time-sychronization radio signal and signal quality are indicated by a radio tower and waves icon just above the clock's seconds display. After synchronization occurs, you can select your continental U.S. time zone, and a U.S. map icon in the upper line of the display indicates the selected time zone. This clock even automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time.

Great idea but very poorly made.......2007-12-03
We purchased this clock to help my wife after she lost some of her sight. It tell you the time, temperature and weather forecast for the day - when it works. For unexplainable reasons, the radio alarm will fail to shut off, leaving you forced to either turn the volume down or reset the entire clock. If you choose to reset the clock, the buttons to reset the time are so small and poorly made that pressing the hour button frequently results in the minutes advancing also. The inability to turn off the radio alarm happens about once every two or three weeks. While this product has many good features (changing color of the display to match the outside temp for example) none of it matters when you can't rely on the product performing consistently. Avoid this clock.
Skip this clock.......2007-07-03
The clock changes color based on temperature and anounces the time, date and temperature. The color changing does work as advertised, but there are many problems with this clock. It is hard to see the numbers on the clock as it is always too dark for my eyes no matter what color it changes to. The temperature seems to run too low. There is no atomic time adjustmnet so you have to set the clock manually. The radio sounds very bad. It is poorly made as the knobs keep falling off. The worst problem is that when you set the alarm to the radio you hear the alarm part, then the anouncement and then finally the radio and there is no way to set it differently then that. The alarm always goes on no matter what you do and it is too loud and there is no volume for the alarm part, just the radio. This is just a poorly made and poorly thought out clock. True that it has some features other clocks do not have, but the problems outweigh any feature it has. Their R-495 model is a better clock with the same features except for the voice anouncement and is cheaper so I would go with that model instead of this one.

Overly complicated setup and Wireless temperature connectivity issues.......2006-08-01
I purchased Chaney Instrument's Atomix 75320 wall clock about eight months ago for our master bedroom bathroom. Setting up the clock and remote temperature sensor is much more complicated than need be and its remote temperature sensor is very problematic. On the plus side, the clock has large LCD numbers so they're easy to read and the timekeeping is what you'd expect from a clock that syncs with an atomic clock.
Following the directions to set up the clock work as expected but in my opinion getting the clock to "up and running" should be much easier given that the clock can receive atomic time (and the date?) from the NTIS. I would hope that putting batteries in the device, establishing the time zone and pressing the "get time" button on the top of the unit would be all the setup that is required. That is not the case. If you don't pre-set the time, date, and time zone the unit never received the NTIS time at the established time of 1 or 2 AM (each times were listed on two different sets of documentation).
The remote temperature unit has caused me the most grief. Chaney Instrument's design requires user interaction to establish connectivity between the clock and remote temperature unit (RTU) but as long as you follow the setup directions establishing a partnership between the clock and RTU works. Still, when I put batteries in both the clock and then the RTU I would expect the two of them to automatically create a communication/connectivity "partnership". However, after putting batteries in the RTU you must press and hold the TX button (TX = transmission) for three seconds. Unfortunately, TX button is under a four-screw battery cover so remember to do it before putting the cover back in place (if you're not a person who likes to follow directions or who misses a step you'll find yourself having to take the battery cover off more than you'll care to).
Unfortunately, I experienced an issue the second time I replaced the batteries, established a partnership and then moved the RTU to its mounting outside of our home. The RTU's signal would no longer update the temperature display on the clock. Because the RTU is water resistant I mounted it up underneath the soffit which on our house is two stories above ground. In attempting to get the clock and RTU to "speak" I've climbed the ladder four or five times in order to get the RTU, descend the ladder, walk upstairs so I can see the clock, press and hold the clock's channel button for three seconds to clear the partnership, unscrew the RTU's four battery cover screws, press and hold the TX button to establish a partnership, tighten the four screws again, go downstairs, climb the ladder, and then slide the RTU back on it its mount. I feel like I'm training for some geek triathlon. :-) I've never gotten the clock and RTU to communicate when I put the RTU back on its mount so the clock says it's always 73 degrees outside (and we don't live in San Diego so that is definitely not the case).
The support person said that the interference somehow occurred during the five minute interval between when the RTU was communicating with the clock and when I changed the batteries. Yeah, right.
Great concept, poor execution.......2005-12-06
This clock would be excellent, but the numbers aren't legible from some essential viewing angles. I don't seem to have this problem with other digital clocks. Instead of this being the main kitchen clock on the wall as I intended, I've put this on top of the refrigerator as a spare.
Update: Both myself and a relative have had the remote temperature unit fail within 1 month. Now I only get the indoor temperature displayed on the unit.
