Don't buy as an alarm clock!

 

Don't buy as an alarm clock!

This clock has the quietest "buzzer" I've ever heard - useless to me as an alarm clock, which is what I bought it for.

Bad news - pass this one up.

 

Bad news - pass this one up.

Bought while Internet shopping and not testing. Display hard to read. Buttons hard to use because they are on the front of the radio - many settings require pushing two buttons at the same time, even harder to do on the front. Impossible to use...

High price, good quality

 

High price, good quality

I have been very happy with the sound quality and performance of the 833. One note though, the speakers will buzz if you crank up the volume all the way. The buttons are where you would expect and it is easy to program and, more importantly, to deal...

Product Specifications

Digital synthesized AM/FM stereo tuner provides the most accurate drift-free tuning of AM and FM Stereo radio stations and lets you choose from the wide variety of radio talk and music programming. Wake to CD, radio, or alarm and start the day by listening to a favorite compact disc or radio station, or waking to a traditional buzzer. Wake to any track on the CD simply by pre-programming the desired track before retiring. Mega Bass sound system with 3-position switch produces rich, deep bass tones with low harmonic distortion.

Built-in stereo speakers enhance the realistic listening effect with individual left- and right channel speakers.

Forward/reverse time and alarm settings are easy, speedy and efficient to set. Backlit LCD Digital display shows time, mode, selected radio band, compact disc track, and other information in large LCD numerals that are easy to see even in dark. Self-powered back-up system requires no battery to maintain settings in event of blackout or other power failure.
