Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips AJ3940 CD Dual Alarm Clock Radio
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: Worst button layout I have ever found/
Summary: 2 Stars
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 interface. Can't imagine the stupidity of the people who designed this. I'm going to replace mine with something else.No big loss, since the sound is pretty poor, too. Of course, most clock radios have lousy sound, and this is no exception.
Customer Review: Over-Engineered
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this a year ago and quickly came to the conclusion that this was a major mistake. The buttons and their location are the worst that I have ever seen on an electronics product. There was no apparent thought to ergonomics and it is entirely over-engineered. It takes two hands to activate any feature on the unit. One to keep it from sliding off the nightstand and the other to press the button. I would never buy this again.
Customer Review: Sounds Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a compact cd alarm clock that didn't take up too much space but still sounded good... and I found it. This alarm clock sounds great for the size and the digital display doesn't glare out at you while sleeping. It has 3 levels of brightness also in case you do like it bright. Overall great sounding cd player for the size and good-looking as well.Customer Review: ClockRadio: 3-stars.
Summary: 3 Stars
I would rate this product 5 stars for sound quality, 1 star for workmanship. Also, product box within the shipping box appeared to be slightly crushed at one corner upon receipt. Within one hour of first use, the spring loaded CD lid broke. A small piece of plastic that seemed to have retained the spring broke off some time after the second CD was inserted.
