Good unit - would recomend.......2007-12-28
It has been a couple of years since we purchased similar unit and to date have had absolutely no problems. While my overall impressions are positive, one feature is seems to missing but is needed - unit does not have anti-skip protection. So when you close cabinet door while CD is playing it will skip... occasional annoyance... Other functionality works well and as advertised.
Good Sound, CD Doesn't Work.......2007-12-26
I bought this as a surprise gift for my husband for Christmas 2007. He was so excited he took it out of the box and hung it below the kitchen cabinet right after he opened it. The radio worked great with good sound but it wouldn't play any CD's. Now we have to take it down and return it, and I have holes in my cabinet. Very disappointing.
Music.......2007-11-08
This is a really nice cd / radio player. Ours is in the laundry room. Love the sound and style. Only problem is reception for the radio but that is only every now and then.
Great value and great quality.......2007-10-31
Was searching for a pull-down TV/radio for awhile for my kitchen and couldn't justify the high cost of the TV and thought I'd settled for a radio with TV broadcast. Very happily surprised with the TV broadcast and the radio is great. No interference and I have it next to my microwave and pretty close to the frig. The sound quality is typical awesome Sony and putting a magnet on the remote is ingenious. I'm extremely happy with the price too - $20 lower than BestBuy.
Absolutely love it........2007-10-28
After reading all the reviews I decided to buy the product. It arrived within days, very easy to install, the sound is more then I expected. The design is trimline and looks great under the cabinet. Would highly recommend this product.

Option packed for the $$$.......2007-12-21
I purchased this receiver to untangle the web of cables that spanned the space between my audio rack and 60" SONY XBR rear projection HDTV. After removing all of my existing cables, I was thinking that I would be able to make HDMI connections between the Cable Box/DVR, Upscaling DVD player, and the receiver, then make one HDMI to DVI connection to the TV. HOWEVER, when that is done, Audio drops out at the receiver level (which seems quirky, but is documented in the manual), so I needed to pick up audio with optical cables. The automated audio setup is really sweet, using the provided microphone and a tripod, and this program picked up two out of phase speaker connections that I had to correct.
Sound is terrific, and we feel like our Home Theater experience has been enhanced by this purchase.
Excellent Product.......2007-12-05
I've had this system for one week now and I can say with confidence that it is one excellent unit. The set-up was easy and the speaker setup was quick and efficient. The system sounds great. I had visitors over and every one of them notice the quality surround sound. The instructions were also easy to read and it clarified a lot of my questions and concerns. I had an old Kenwood receiver, I can definitely state, the performance and sound is overwhelmingly superior.
Sony STR-DG810 6.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver .......2007-12-04
Easy to set up. My only disappointment was with the HDMI out. You can not use an HDMI to DVI conversion cable. You will lose all sound if you do. To take full advantage of the new unit I'll have to wait until I buy a new TV.
Great Amplifier but one huge problem!!.......2007-11-13
This does what it does very well, actually better than very well if one considers the relatively low price. However, what Amazon and Sony don't tell you (except burried in tons of tiny statements) is that IF you use the amplifier's HDMI output to feed signals to your TV, the amplifier will ONLY transmit video signals (from your cable/sat box and DVD) if they come in via the HDMI input. In other words, if your DVD does not have 'HDMI out', and you connect it with the component or yellow video cable, the Sony amplifier will NOT NOT transmit (the tech tern is "up convert") the signal to your TV. For such a connection to work, you will have to connect the amplifier to the TV via normal cable instead of or in addition to HDMI.
Sony STR-DG810 Receiver.......2007-11-11
A great value in consumer electronics. Purchased mine from Amazon for less
than $300 dollars and could not be more pleased. Easy to program however it will be necessary to spend some time with the Instruction Manual in
order to completely familiarize oneself with the myriad capabilities. Mine
arrived with an inoperable input selector however this was corrected under
warrenty by a local authorized repair facility and the support that I
received from both Amazon and Sony was EXCELLENT. All of my components are
connected via HDMI and the 3 input sources that this unit provides are
sufficient. Sound in my opinion is excellent however I'm no audiophile.
I'm driving a set of Bose 301's as main with a pair of Infinity SM65's as
surround. Bose VCS-10 center channel and an Advent ASW1200 subwoofer.

Compact, light, just one problem.......2007-12-27
This is exactly what we were looking for in a clock, small, light weight, backlight. Look like everything we wanted. Just on problem is that the angle from which we read it from bed while on the nightstand is the one angle the time is blead out by the backlight, so you can't read it. This may not be a problem for everyone, just us. Otherwise it is great.
unimpressed.......2007-12-12
this clock would be ok if you took it with you camping or something but to have on your night stand, it's not the greatest. in order to illuminate the screen, you have to push down the snooze button. it's not even an easy button to push. good luck if you have arthritis in your fingers!
it works ok but next alarm clock i get i'm going to make sure it has an ac adapter as well as battery backup.
i'd keep searching if you want a good alarm clock. there is a reason the price is cheap. the product is too.
Great little alarm clock!.......2007-12-01
I purchased this clock to use every day because our power goes out often, and I needed a battery operated alarm clock. I was very impressed with the fit and feel of the clock when it arrived. I found it easy to set both the alarm and the time, and the backlight works beautifully. The alarm is a 2 stage alarm, starting out at a medium volume and then switching over to a louder volume after about 5 seconds. I've used it for about a week now, and I have no complaints. This is one of the best values I've come across in a long time!
Good solid value -- one major ergonmic flaw.......2007-11-30
It's a solid buy at eight bucks.
My only irritation is the alarm "on off" button is clustered on a multi-purpose slider switch.
The alarm "on off" deserves its own, big button, since its a feature you use every night and every morning. Indeed, this is how most alarm clocks do it -- a big dedicate "on off" that you can visually confirm is set correctly.
Why bury them most common task on a multi function button? It's easy to mis-set when you're groggy and that can be a real bummer if that makes you miss an early morning meeting.
Wakes me up!.......2007-11-10
Good sturdy alarm clock. A little louder than I'm used to but that's a good thing.

Great design, weak function.......2007-12-20
Sony ICF-M1000 Table Top Radio
The cabinet design is four- or five-star superb. But unless you would like to hold the powercord antenna in a narrowly fixed position to get even alocal FM station, this radio would be essentially useless.
Great product!.......2007-12-17
Excellent radio! While it may lack to pedigree of radios such as the Tivoli Model One, or a Boston Acoustics table top radio, the Sony ICF-M1000 performs well, delivering good sound and good FM reception. It's too bad Sony has apparently discontinued this radio. It's not often these days you can find a quality piece of electronics that doesn't attempt to do a million different things at once. The Sony ICF-M1000 is an AM/FM radio. That's it, and that's all it needs to be.
sony radio excells.......2007-11-15
I live in a remote location where radio reception is difficult..This radio provides surprisingly good reception (and sound) and is far superior to a Cambridge radio previously purchased which provided very poor reception (even though it cost much more than the Sony). I am so impressed with this Sony radio that I have purchased two more(especially as the discounted price is so low). m
Simply Beautiful with a Great Sound.......2007-11-03
Listening to my local FM jazz & reggae station, the depth of sound is amazing! A finely engineered product. I agree with another reviewer that this radio performs well, without being cluttered with alarm clock, cd player, extra speaker, etc. It does have plenty of input/output plugs, however, if you do want to extend the system (stereo headphone out, aux-in, line-out, external FM antenna connector). Sometimes less is more. Too bad Sony discontinued it (but glad for the price-reduction!)
Outstanding.......2007-10-18
I wanted a small, tabletop radio to listen to Yankee games and NPR, and my clock radio had crummy reception. I was stuck between those ultra cheap (and god-awful looking) CD player/boomboxes and the extravagantly priced Tivoli sets (over 100 bucks for a radio? I really can't afford that.) So, I was thrilled when I saw that this simple, sophisticated Sony model was on clearance on Amazon for 50 bucks (about a third of the original price.)
It looks great, and the reception is amazing. The sound quality is clear and crisp. This is, by far, the best tabletop radio you'll find for 50 bucks. 5 stars.

Sharp SPC364 Atomic LCD alarm Clock .......2007-12-03
I am an atomic clock "fan" and this purchase is the latest of several atomic clock purchases. I purchased four of this particular item..two for me and two for a son in Calif. This is a compact ..easy-to-use item and becauwe of its nature, does not require re-setting when one does much traveling across the country.
Battery seems to last forever!.......2007-11-09
I bought this clock about 2 years ago and have never had to replace the battery yet! It works OK for me as an alarm..it is not very loud but that works for me. Since I have used the alarm function since I bought it not having the instructions have not been an issue but i can see how it could be difficult to learn without them. The biggest drawback is the very dim backlit but I have learned to live with it. This year it did not revert back to CST from DST. I finally pushed the reset button and it reset it self with in 2 minutes with the correct date and time. I don.t think Sharp makes this clock or any clock for that matter, because when you go the the company web site there are no clocks listed anywhere in products or support. I think they just license the name for these products and that is what makes it so hard to find manuals when they are lost. I think Amazon was very nice for scanning the manual and posting in the image section for this product.
night time clock-usable at other times.......2007-10-13
It is a bit early but the first indications are that this is just what i was looking for. The display could be a bit bigger but in the dark in the middle of the night, the curvature is manageable and the display last for just long enough.
One positive that will probably not go away was the ease of start up with this clock.
Wish I still had the receipt.......2007-09-18
I second all the negative things people have written here, with a few of my own to add. The snooze alarm, when I remember to make sure it's on (seriously -- you have to SET a snooze function???), only goes off twice, then the alarm (a very quiet one at that) is off for good. Fortunately for us, we have two very small children who wake us up before 7 each and every morning. Otherwise, my husband would be later for work than he already is. The beeping with EVERY function is so annoying, and even though we can't manage to set the stupid thing without instructions (thank you to the person who posted them -- our kids managed to hide and/or destroy them), our kids manage to screw up the clock several times a week (usually changing time zones or putting it in 24-hour mode, though this morning they somehow froze it, but changing the battery fixed that). The background lighting works but you can read the display only if you're looking down at it, and if you're lying down at night you're probably level with it or looking UP at it, so it's unreadable until you point it down (hardly intuitive when you're barely awake). What I DO like, though, is that it's small/lightweight, so when I remember, I can move it out of the kids' reach. I also like that it's attractive and accurate, but I'd like to think there are MANY other clocks out there that can say the same thing. I can't believe Sharp is still making this after at least two years of the same flaws (judging by the reviews on here). Skip this clock and buy something better. I still may take it back to Wal-Mart and see if I can exchange it for something worth my hard-earned $10...
Keeps accurate time, looks good, but very hard to adjust.......2007-03-11
I was given this clock by someone who didn't want it any more. It definitely keeps accurate time. It looks good and doesn't take up much space in my office, where I have it on my desk near my computer monitor.
I don't ever use this clock as an alarm clock, so I can't comment on that particular feature.
I'd give this clock a rating of 4 or 5 except for the one problem that several people have commented on: This clock is without a doubt very difficult to set and adjust. Don't believe me? Can't see how anyone should have trouble setting a clock? Have a look at the reviews where the authors have written how to adjust some setting. Someone else posted images here at Amazon of the instructions that come with the clock. Search the web for keywords like [spc364 sharp clock adjust] and see how many people are trying to find out how to adjust some setting on this clock.
Believe me, when you have all these people trying to find out how to adjust one setting or another on a clock, this should tell you that the user interface design for this clock is poor.
(I happen to get periodic practice adjusting my clock's settings, since every few months my granddaughter plays with the clock by pressing all the buttons on the back ;^)

Perfect.......2007-09-30
This is a plug in clock with a battery backup (which is not entirely clear from the description). It is very small (definitely fits in the palm of your hand) but has a very clear LCD. I like that you can customize the color for the display but I found the basic blue shown in the picture works the best. It is perfect as a second clock for the other side of the bed--presuming there are two people.

Customer Reviews:
Worked great for 14 months then..........2007-11-25
As other reviewers have reported, the alarm clock was very functional for a while and then the alarm quit working. We purchased this at Wal-Mart a while back. The temperature gauge was nice and it's difficult to beat the compact size. However, when we set the alarm now it doesn't beep anymore and the light just stays on during this period. We tried changing the battery but that doesn't help. I saw two other reviewers reported the same problem. FYI, the product is made in China. I'm kind of surprised that Sharp ties it's name to such a product. If you're looking for a short term solution for 6+ months then this will probably work fine but don't count on it as eventually it will probably stop working for you too. Just hope that the day it stops working is a non-important one for you!
Imperfect, but it's proved to be quite usable.......2007-10-11
I admit I was swayed by its neo-RAZR looks when I picked this up at a local Bartell's Drug Store (a Seattle-area retail institution, in case you're wondering). It's been with me on several trips, and has performed quite well. However, it's certainly not a perfect device. For instance, despite its metal case the materials are still on the flimsy, thin and cheezy side of perfection...by a rather wide margin, I might add.
The hinge for this clamshell operating design has plenty of wiggle and play, though admittedly it does stay closed when need be so it does keep the LCD protected when on the move to the next destination. As others have noted, the blue-tinted backlight is near useless because of the extremely low light level it manages to (barely) emit. Yet in a (extremely) darkened room it's still bright enough read the screen...from select angles, that is. This LCD display has a rather narrow viewing angle in the top-to-bottom axis; the digits can get awfully dull and fuzzy when not looking at the LCD at a near perpendicular angle. The alarm's shrill, electronic beeping is for me not the most pleasant noise to wake up to.
Yet for all its flaws, this little bugger has done what I needed of it when I've had to rely upon it. Time keeping has been accurate over the several months of ownership and usage, the battery still appears to be going strong (though I too had to finesse the initial battery installation in order to get the thing to work correctly), and it's managed to wake me up every time I've needed it to do exactly that. Due to its chassis' rather questionable build quality, I'd certainly feel more comfortable looking elsewhere when considering an alarm clock on a backwoods trip. But for the relative safe confines of a hotel room, this little clock has so far done a dependable and solid job of fulfilling exactly what the thing was originally created to do.
Just bought this item at Target.......2007-09-10
I really like the look of this alarm clock, hopefully it will hold up ok, it seems to be a bit mixed, looking at reviews. Apparently it is a SHARPtech product, not Sharp, made by M.Z. Berger and Company.
I have the warranty on hand - It is warranteed for 2 years after date of purchase against manufacturing defects. If you still have the reciept or photocopy, you can send them with the product to:
M.Z. Berger Service Center
33-00 Northern Boulevard
Long Island City, NY 11101-2224
but they require a check of $5.95 to cover S&H, which is hardly worth it for a $10 product. They note to include your return address. If mine breaks, perhaps I will purchase the award winning plastic one from LL Bean.
The model is SPC303 - or at least mine is.
Piece. Of. Crap........2007-09-06
So, I got this a week ago and somehow -- on using the Snooze function -- I put it into a "Silent Alarm" mode. No lie. I set the alarm on a test and waited. The display blinked. No sound. After spending far too long trying to get it out of silent mode (including removing the battery in order to rest it to factory default), I called Sharp for help. Two phone numbers later, they tell me "It's not a Sharp Product." Even with Sharp's name all over it, it's not a Sharp product therefore they don't support it. The support number they provided wasn't even a toll free support line.
Thanks for nothing, Sharp.
Looks can be deceiving.......2007-04-08
I bought this alarm clock today (April 7, 2007) at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $10. I wish I had seen the reviews first. I bought it because of the product name, small size and variety of options. Unfortunately, I realized it wasn't a great buy when I brought it home...and spent a few hours trying to keep the battery in a certain position so the clock would stay on. The connections appear to be very sensitive and the battery doesn't stay in place.
The clock light is pointless. It's supposed to help you see the time in the dark, but unless you have the clock at a certain angle everything will appear blurry. Actually, the screen is blurry in most positions even with the light off.
As for the alarm, it's pretty quiet. If you're a sound sleeper or live in a noisy environment, this is not the clock for you. You'll only hear the alarm if you sleep with it under your ear.
A final note on this product: The clock has been on for almost an hour without any problems...but only with the battery cover slightly open. If I close the cover all the way, the clock shuts off. If you want an alarm clock that will last awhile, I suggest buying something else. You get less than you pay for with this model.

BIG BLUE with outdoor temperature.......2007-10-26
Has exactly what i needed, big digits, but not too brigh and outdoor temperature. I also liked the fact that the clock set itself once I plugged it in.
Nice and pretty clock.......2007-09-11
Easy to understand menu, once plug in then press and hold the time zone button for 5 second then press either + or - key to choose your time zone and the time and date will set automatic.
The clock has a beauty lighter blue-violet back-light that stay on all time and is auto-dimmer, the digit is about 2 inches in darker color make the display easy to read in all angle, The temperature sensor is only around 1-2 degree difference on my, it's not a big deal, The only draw back is the alarm set and sound, it start as beep sound then gradually go faster and faster make it sound like a bell, but the volume is low(lower then my microwave reminder sound), and have to press the alarm set button 3 times to active the alarm every time, I do not use it as an alarm clock, so it doesn't matter to me, I put it in the office to replace the other one use battery operated and without back light, the nap timer is useful though. has a memory function in case of power outage and could use 3AAA back up battery for alarm.
The clock is around 4Lx6Hx8W", the display size is about 3x5". It is pretty though.

I bought this clock to go in the bathroom and it serves the purpose well. I love that it tells you the temperature. If you are using this as an alarm clock for the nightstand, you might find the display a little small. Great for the price though.

The advertising was accurate. It has all the features I need. It's compact and accurate. I'd buy more if I needed them. Great value for the money.

I was a little disappointed after opening it and finding out it was more of a travel alarm clock for keeping appointments and such, rather than one you might keep in a bedroom to wake up to. It is battery operated and the lighted display does not stay lit. You push the snooze button to turn it on and it only stays lit for a couple seconds before turning off. And when the alarm goes off it is kind of quite for an alarm clock and it turns the alarm off after a minute or two. It is not for a heavy sleeper. But on the up side it is small and takes up little space and the display is relatively large. Also there's a switch on the back for setting time, date, and alarm but it also includes a lock position so the setting won't easily be changed accidentally. Overall I would not recommend this to someone who needs an alarm click to wake up to.
Don't buy this for home use.......2007-02-06
This clock looks good and has a nice feature set, but while it may make a nice travel clock (if your cell phone won't do) it's really not suitable for regular use.
* While the time is displayed in nice large numbers, the contrast is low and the display is hard to read in all but the brightest light. The display is set comparatively deep within the bezel and tends to chop off the right side of the last seconds digit, unless you view it fairly straight on. The date and temp are small, and can only be read from fairly close up.
* As others have noted, you can't read the display if you are looking up at it, as when it's on your bed's headboard. You have to sit up a bit, or twist the clock.
* The clock is smaller than it may look from the picture, and the base is narrow. It's much too easy to knock it over when pushing the backlight/snooze button.
* Unlike many alarm clocks, there's no button to push to turn off the alarm and leave it armed for tomorrow: You have to fiddle with a small slide switch each and every night and each every morning.
Viewing angle problem spoils nice alarm clock.......2006-12-28
This clock has a nice design, easy to use and doesn't take up a lot of night stand space. But in order to see the clock at night when you hit the light button you have to be significantly higher than the clock. For some reason the LCD display is not visible when the backlight is on unless you are at least 30 degrees higher than the clock. Since our nightstand is level with the bed, it makes reading the time at night impossible.
