1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy!, November 17, 2005

This clock radio sounds great but it has a major manufacturing defect. Other reviews have mentioned it. There is a loud clicking sound when you play cd's. This sound comes from the edge of the cd scraping against the interior of the cd tray (the little black pegs to be specific). Also there is a 3.25 inch CD that the manufacturer has built into the cd player as a sound demo for stores or something. This small CD is glued to the bottom of the device that holds the CD down causing this device to not sit correctly, which in turn causes the CD to wobble and to scrape the inside of the CD tray.
I purchased this clock radio and returned it to the RCA for repairs they sent me a new one (four weeks later) with the same problem. So, I cracked it open and fixed it myself. removing the 3.5" demo CD and scraping down the black plastic pegs. I am not recommending you do the same. What I am recommending is for everyone to avoid this clock radio. And if you already have it and you have the same problem don't send it back for repairs, just get your money back.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good sound, bad CD player, May 31, 2005

Got one of these to have in our new baby's room because of the remote feature. Being able to turn on/off, up/down without walking on the creaky floor is important with a new born :)

Sound was very rich for both the CD player and the radio. Fairly easy to set time/date. Never used the alarm feature.

The CD player itself, however, was horrible. Would not read several CDs, made loud clicking noises when it did work. I took it back to the store where I purchased it and exchanged it for another one. Same thing happened. Really disappointed.

So - still looking for a clock radio/cd player solution.

Pros: Sound quality, remote, ease of use
Cons: CD player would not read properly, also made loud clicking noises

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning!!! CD player is very loud, October 11, 2005

I liked the idea of a clock radio/CD player with a remote. But...the CD player is very loud. I mean...you can hear the CD spinning! The motor, I mean. Just awful. I have had to play the CD while putting two CD cases under the radio. Leaving the radio tilted about three inches off the table. Only then does the wizzing sound of the CD stop. Just awful!!! You can hear the motorized spinning sound. For $79, not worth keeping. I am returning. This was my second one, by the way. Beware! Do not buy!!!
