The CR-A78 features a big LED digital clock display in green for clear viewing as well as a built-in projector to display the time on your ceiling or wall. Other features include a sensitive analog tuning dial for getting the sharpest reception you can find, and a snooze alarm in case you need to catch a few extra minutes of valuable sleep. And in case of power outages, you can add a 9-volt back-up battery that lets your clock keep the correct time until the power comes back on. Both convenient and easy-to-use, the CR-A78 clock radio is a great value for anyone going to school or to work.

3.0 out of 5 stars not what I expected, January 11, 2007

We got this clock/radio for our teenage daughter because she liked the one that we have that displays on the ceiling. It is fine for her but you cannot make the projected image very big although it can be focused if fuzzy. The real kicker is that the clock itself and the projected display have to be set separately so the time on the clock may not always be the same as projected time unless you just get them set exactly on the same time. Like I said it is fine for her and it was inexpensive but I would not like it for myself.

This review is from: COBY CR-A78 Digital AM/FM Alarm Clock Radio with Time Projector (Electronics)

This is a sturdily built product with good though not sleek looks. Perfrmance is good. Main issues are with the projection display whose time needs to be set independently from that of the main display clock and hence needs to be reset every time when power fails since the back up battery only provides back up for main clock. Secondly the projeced time display is small size and red in color. Wold have preferred larger display and in brighter colour.
