Product Specifications

Take CD quality music to bed with this handsome table-sized stereo. Set it to wake you to your favorite CD, radio station, or even the buzzer. The ICF-CD820 won't reset, even in the event of a power failure. This is one clock radio you won't want to throw across the room in the morning. Built-in compact disc player provides digital quality sound in a convenient table-top size unit. AM/FM stereo tuner lets you choose from the wide variety of radio talk and music programming and enjoy them in stereo sound. Built-in Stereo Speakers enhance realistic listening effect with individual left- and right-channel speakers. Wake to CD, radio, or buzzer and start your day by waking to favorite news or music station, or any track you select on a compact disc. Dual alarm system permits two separate wake-up settings, an especially useful feature for working couples. Backlit LCD display allows the display to be seen easily even at night. Radio sleep timer shuts off radio automatically after a pre-set length of time (choice of 90, 60, 45, 30, or 15 minutes play time). Dream Bar shuts off buzzer alarm temporarily to allow a few extra minutes for snoozing before it turns on again. Self-powered back-up system needs no battery to maintain time and alarm settings in event of power failure. Conveniently located controls are easy to reach, even from bed. Antennas include built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM, convenient wire antenna for FM.
