Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The Sony ICF-C743 is a clock radio full of modern, and useful, features. To begin with, the clock radio has an unique illuminating floating light. This high-tech globe of light appears to hang in the air on its own, providing a certain distinctness to the display and adding a definite modern look to the established clock radio. Sony calls the design of the ICF-C743 an "interior design style" and true enough, the symmetrical oval is sleek and modern. This clock radio will look appropriate in any room.

With the ICF-C743 you can wake up to FM or AM radio, a buzz alarm or four different melodic alarms. The snooze button on this clock radio is extendable, a nice option for those who relish those extra minutes of sleep. To go with the snooze button, Sony has also installed a nap timer. Set the alarm for 10, 20, 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes and take your nap confident that the alarm will not let you oversleep.

The extra-large amber LCD display is easy to see from across the room or while in bed with fuzzy eyes. There is a brightness control, perfect for reading the clock during the bright daylight hours, or in the pitch dark of nighttime. The FM/AM radio is a digitally synthesized tuner, and with fifteen presets (ten FM and five AM) it is an easy task to retrieve your favorite station.

The clock runs via an included AC cord. There is no power outage safety with this radio, so make sure to use a back-up alarm should you expect a failure in electrical supply.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coolest Alarm clock radio by far!, January 10, 2003

By A Customer

This is a great looking alarm clock. Small and compact and very modern looking. The screen is very easy to read at night and day with a cool orange/amber backround with black numbers which has 3 different brightness levels. I found it very easy to operate, as far as setting the time, alarm, and other settings, Didn't even need to read the manual. A very nice touch to this clock is the "illuminating" light which you can have on or off on the bottom of the unit. The 4 melody alarms are great if you prefer not to wake up to the conventional buzzer or radio (which it has as well). The price is a little steep for this clock but the build quality and many features of this little guy more than make up for it. You wont be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid clock, September 5, 2005

By	C. G. Callan "Craig" (Vandenberg AFB, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I searched way too much looking for the perfect clock radio, my wife would say "too much." I finally settled on this Sony due to features and looks and have been very pleased with my purchase.

PROS: Very nice looking clock, tuner works great, love the presets, small size, dual alarm, digital tuning, dimmer, and more.

CONS: A few too many buttons, no battery backup, no atomic clock synchonization.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor excuse for a radio, but a cute clock, June 19, 2003

By	M. stenberg "mdstenberg" (Dubuque, IA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a cute little clock that is easy to set. The radio controls are easy to use, but the near station rejection is so poor that a single strong signal takes over nearly the entire FM tuning range. My old (circa 1966)analog tuned clock radio works much better.
