Great features, great sound. Still using it after all these years.

 

Great features, great sound. Still using it after all these years.

I love this thing. I've been using it for years. There is nothing better than waking up to music, so ditch the old-fashioned alarm! I'm writing this now because I ran into the problem of setting the current day. Hunting around, I found my manual. To...

I like it, but

I am, for the most part, very pleased with this cd alarm. As other people noted, the button layout is awkward to use. The CD player is pretty quite, reception is good. I can dim the clock down so it doesn't bother me. But WHY would they make it so when...

Not easy to program, but worth the trouble.

After several months, I am very happy with this Clock Radio. Especially useful are the dual alarms, and the great feature that automatically silences either or both of these alarms on weekend mornings. There are back-up batteries to save you if the...

Button Usability Scores Low

Overall, this is a good clock radio. I've had it for a almost a year and it hasn't given me any problems. The only thing I dislike about it is that the buttons are in the wrong place and difficult to press. The manufacturers should have spent more...

Difficult to use

 

Difficult to use

I felt the unit had good looks and good sound. I killer was the bright display that lit up the whole room. I addition, the unit was very difficult to use even with the manual. It had some silly programming button that took two hands to opperate. ...

Worst button layout I have ever found/

 

Worst button layout I have ever found/

The buttons on this are the most unintuitive things I think I have ever seen. Some functions are hard to do even with the instructions. DON'T LOSE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS!! I did, and I can't figure out how to set the day of week. Terrible, terrible...

Great (but not perfect) clock

 

Great (but not perfect) clock

I got this clock over a week ago, and I really like it! I'm just thrilled with all its features (3 different ways to wake up, 2 alarm sets with the ability to assign days of the week, great sounding CD player and radio- all in one small package) that I...

Product Specifications

Forgot when you set your alarm? The Permanent Alarm Time Display helps you remember. Ever confused an 8 with a 5? Larger LED displays make it easier to see the correct time. Want a sleek, modern look to coordinate with your style? Philips Clock Radios will be the product you will be excited to show all the time in your bedroom. AJ3940 offers not only an FM/AM Tuner, which gives you wide selection of radio stations to choose from, and a high-stability, crystal-controlled clock for precise time display. It also offers a CD Player (Play, Stop, Search) with Dynamic Bass Boost, enhancing bass tone frequencies to give deep, rich sounds. Wake up to CD Player, radio or a melody. Week-End Sleeper ensures that the alarm function switches off during week-ends. Alarm Reset automatically resets the alarm for the same time on the next day, so you don't have to keep manually resetting the alarm. Two alarms can be set independently with the choice of waking up to your favorite music from the CD player, radio station, or from the buzzer. 3 x AA batteries (not included) ensure that clock and alarm settings are maintained in the event of a mains interrupt or failure. Should this happen the display will not illuminate but the alarm and clock settings remain active.
