Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips AJ3940 CD Dual Alarm Clock Radio
Customer Review: Great features, great sound. Still using it after all these years.
Summary: 5 Stars
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 set the Day - hold the Day/Repeat Alarm button on top. Select the Day using the arrow buttons. 01 is monday, 07 is sunday. Press the Day/Repeat button again to store the day.
To set the weekend sleeper, Hold down Alarm 1 or 2 button, then press the Weekend Sleeper. ZZ will appear in the display for the alarm.
Slumber is used to have a CD or the radio play for 10, 30, or 60 minutes and then shut off. Press Play + Slumber or Radio + Slumber.
Be sure to change the batteries once a year, or they will leak!
Customer Review: Lovely Alarmclock
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this clock for a few years now.. it's.. well.. awesome.. I love that I can wake up to any song I want to.. with it and my cd burner I can wake up to anything under the sun.. Putting up with traditional radio alarmclocks through my life was pretty hectic.. I never knew what stations were good in the mornings.. At one point in time I was jarred awake by the last 6 notes of the national anthem.. "DA DA DA.. DA DA.. DAAAAAA".. with this clock thats no longer a problem.. Allthough if I ever want to get nostalgic the radio function on it does work better than other alarmclocks I've ever had..
It's nice and small.. fits in lots of places.. and has big sound.. if I turn it up loud enough I can wake my whole house up.. lol..
Customer Review: I like it, but
Summary: 4 Stars
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 you turn off the alarm (and reset it), it BEEPS a loud beep (to confirm you turned it off) and you can't adjust the volume on this beep. It makes no sense to me. I try to slip out of bed without disturbing my wife (we are both light sleepers). The only way around this that I found is to turn the volume down and after an hour it will reset without beeping. This beep sort of makes the second alarm function useless, seeing the second person is already awake from the beep and the volume is down.Customer Review: 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 power goes off overnight. The speakers are better than most bedside radios, and waking up to any specific CD track of your choice is a treat. Or you can choose a radio station or one of several (all too electronic-sounding) melodies. You can also easily adjust the brightness of the dial, from barely readable to a good nightlight.The trade-off for the cool features is this: it has approximately 19 buttons! So it's complex and a bit counter-intuitive to set up, and you need both hands. If you buy it, don't lose the instructions! Keep them in a bedside drawer, because you will want to check them any time you need to reset anything.
Customer Review: Button Usability Scores Low
Summary: 3 Stars
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 time on usability testing...
