FM digital tuning with presetsDigital FM radio offers you additional music options to your music collection on your Philips audio system. Simply tune into the station that you want to preset, press and hold the preset button to memorize the frequency. With preset radio stations that can be stored, you can quickly access your favorite radio station without having to manually tune the frequencies each time. |
Repeat alarmTo counter oversleeping, the Philips Clock radio has a snooze feature. Should the alarm ring and you wish to continue sleeping a bit longer, simply press the Repeat Alarm button once and go back to sleep. Nine minutes later the alarm will ring again. You can continue to press the repeat alarm button every nine minutes until you turn off the alarm altogether. |
Gentle wakeStart your day right by waking up gently to a gradually escalating alarm volume. Normal alarm sounds with a preset volume are either too low to wake you up or are so uncomfortably loud that you are rudely jolted awake. Choose to wake up to your favorite music, radio station or buzzer alarm. Gentle wake's alarm volume gradually increases from subtly low to reasonably high in order to gently rouse you. |
Dual alarmThe Philips audio system comes with two alarm times. Set one alarm time to wake you up and the other time to wake up your partner. |

It has settings for two different alarm times which is nice but not unusual. The non-radio alarm is not crazy-loud (as some are) but it's enough to wake you without wanting to hit the damn thing with a hammer. The radio comes on full loud, but as I don't use it, I don't have an issue. (Do you really want to wake up to a deodorant commercial?). The radio uses a hanging string-type antenna that works okay (I'm about 20-miles outside of Milwaukee) and even brings in the one college radio station that exists here, and without static. (If you want the antenna to work, though, it must be fully extended.) No bass to speak of, but the sound is crisp and clear. Works for me as I didn't buy it for "fidelity", just for the news.
The one issue I have is that it has 10 FM pre-sets, but you have to cycle through them all to change stations. For instance, if you are on pre-set 2 and want to go to pre-set 1, you have to move up through ALL the pre-sets (even if you have set none) until you come back to number 1. A "back" button for the pre-sets would have gone a long way for me.
Nevertheless, I think for ten-bucks this is a great bargain. For a bit higher price, it's still worth having (unless blinking colons bother you (see top-rated review). Not disturbingly bright, works reliably, has battery backup and decent radio reception and sound.
A marvel of engineering and design -- it's light, airy, amazing looking yet sturdy and substantial at the same time. This is so well designed! I find that the buttons are in the right places, easy to get to and intuitive, they feel very substantial and not flimsy and cheap like so many other electronics today. I don't know how they were able to make a piece that is so substantial and solid feeling yet airy and light and unobtrusive looking. A really great job done though! I am quite impressed and very pleasantly surprised, this feels like a product that will last, which sometimes seems like a thing of teh past- toay everything is made to toss...
I love the non digital radio station dial-- I live in a mountainous area where it's very hard to get any reception, and the manual tuner is a must. And this one is well made and sensitive -- I actually get several stations with this, which I have never been able to get with others I have tried.
On top of it the light display is brilliantly done! The mirror finish is really cool it's a smoky color so not like a shiny standard mirror. And the time is displayed in a golden color that makes it really easy at a quick glance see what time it is whether it's light or dark in the room, yet at night it's very unobtrusive. Living in the mountains we have no ambient light (except the moon when it's full) coming into the bedroom. So, any light source really pops out and I have a hard time sleeping with that in the room. So I have been looking for one that didn't keep me awake. I have tried several ones with adjustable displays but ended up having to toss a piece of clothing over each one I have tried, which makes it a useless time keeper. This one was just perfect.
I really, really like this clock radio and can highly recommend it.
The positives on the clock are its large numbers, digital station tuning and the antenna. We have a radio station we like to wake up to but no analog clock can lock in the station strong enough to not get static. This clock locks in the station so no more static.
The negatives on the clock are that the alarms only set forward and you cannot set the volume of the radio to wake up to. The wake up radio is super loud. It is so loud that we put some felt and duct tape over the speaker. This solved the issue with the morning radio being too loud. We should not have needed to do this but you do what you need to do.
Overall a potentially great clock radio. A little tweaking by Philips and this clock would be great.

Easy set up, although I had to supply 2 AAA batteries, but that's O.K.
This clock radio will serve my purpose nicely.
