Amazon.com Product Description
Equally suited to entertainment and utility, the Timex T617S is perfect for any bedroom or kitchen, offering accurate auto-set timekeeping, CD and radio playback, stereo speakers, onboard nature sounds, and an external audio input. The unit's stately silver finish and translucent CD door add visual touches of class, and its versatile CD playback modes include repeat and random play. Once plugged in, the clock will set itself, drawing on its factory-installed 100-year calendar (year/month/day, 2000 to 2099). The clock will even self-adjust for Daylight Savings time and leap years.

It features a programmable sleep mode with independent sleep volume, too (select 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes), so you can drift to sleep or wake to your choice of a favorite radio station, a favorite CD track, or any of the unit's 4 nature sounds: ocean surf, rushing brook, forest spring, and wind chimes. The T617S's 2 alarms each function independently, so both can be set for either the same or different wake signals.

For radio listening, you'll enjoy drift-free digital PLL (phase-locked-loop) tuning with 12 preset stations for 1-touch tuning convenience for your favorites (6 FM, 6 AM). Use the clock's handy Smart Knob to quickly and easily adjust all settings and major functions.

Ideal for a portable MP3 player or cassette player, the T617S's auxiliary audio input broadens your listening options to include any source you deem appropriate. Hookup with portable audio devices is a snap using the supplied stereo minijack-to-minijack audio cable.

And, just to make sure you never miss an important appointment (if only some quality time with your shower or morning coffee), the clock also comes with Timex's Sure Alarm battery backup. Just install 3 AAA batteries (not included) to activate this feature. In the event of a power failure--or if you disconnect the AC power cord to move the clock--Sure Alarm will maintain your clock and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarms will sound at the appointed time (while operating on battery power, the alarms will sound only as buzzer).

What's in the Box
Clock, FM wire antenna, a stereo analog audio interconnect (minijack to minijack), and a user's manual with warranty information.

5 out of 5 stars Well worth the money   July 15, 2006

After reading many reviews and researching alarm clocks, I purchased this one, even though it got some bad reviews. I swear, I can't buy anything these days without reading the reviews on Amazon first; and there's always someone with something bad to say about every item. Anyway, I digress...here's what I like about it:
- snooze button doubles as a dimmer switch for the LED readout so it's easy to find
- "sleep" function has a separate volume than the alarm function, so you can fall asleep listening to music quietly playing on a CD and not have to worry about the volume being too low to wake you in the morning (there are only 3 or 4 'sleep' volume levels to choose from, but it's still good for me)
- I was wary of the nature sounds, as someone said they were lousy, but I enjoy them and don't notice any particular problem with sound quality
- Like the height to width ratio - you can see the time across the room & over the bed
- I like the LED display, because LCD displays need a backlight which make it hard to read the time & are too bright
- Like that the time is preset & battery is already in the clock when you unpack it; timezone selector is on the back of the clock
- Dual alarm clock is a must. It's really easy to see which (or both) alarm is set. While some clocks only have a red dot to indicate the alarm is set (and who can tell if it's alarm #1 or #2 in the dark?), this clock displays a picture of a bell and a #1 and/or #2 in the bell.
- My only dislike is the blue light that shines from the CD area on the front of the clock anytime you use one of the audio options. If I'm trying to fall asleep to CD or nature sounds, I prop a CD case in front of the unit to block the light.



5 out of 5 stars Overall, very good   April 30, 2006

I recently bought two T617S CD clock radios. One sounded quite good, but the other had a tinny sound so I returned it as defective.

I need white noise at night to drown out other sounds. What I really want is a clock radio with built-in pure white noise. I would think there is demand for that, but nobody seems to make them. The nature sounds are too annoying for me, so I run a CD that has recorded white noise [...], on repeat mode. The manual says that repeat mode only repeats the CD once. However, thankfully it actually runs continuously until turned off. I also have an old Timex T600B CD clock radio that looks like it's an earlier version of the T617S. The CD player on that clock radio stopped working after playing it all night for over a year. I expect that the CD player on the T617S won't last forever either, but what does?

I think the lowest setting on the dimmer works quite well. However, there is a window on the CD player (so you can see it spinning, I guess) that also has a light. This light doesn't dim with the dimmer on the clock. It's way too bright, but it's easy to cover since it isn't needed anyway.

The battery backup was also critical for me, since during the winter we have frequent power failures, sometimes more than once a day and lasting several hours. Amazingly, many if not most clock radios, including a Sony Dream Machine we have, don't have battery backup.



5 out of 5 stars This one does just about everything   June 12, 2006

Kudos to the engineers who designed this one. They thought of just about everything. Especially nice is the large knob on the front which controls the volume among other things. So many clock radios force you to fumble around on the back of the device to adjust volume - no fun in the middle of the night. The digital read-out is large and clear. Controls are easy to use. The earphone jack and MP3 capability show that someone in engineering was paying attention. A nice-looking unit that is a bit tall for the nightstand, but it sure does everything you might ask it to do. My only complaint might be with the AM side of the radio band. As usual with modern radios, the AM seems a bit puny and will not clearly pull in the lower-powered stations in town. Some of us like to listen to AM talk radio at night.


5 out of 5 stars Superb Clock Radio/CD Player from TIMEX   April 4, 2006

Despite having owned previous models of this TIMEX product, I foolishing opted for a less expensive radio/CD player from another well-known company. What a disappointment. I returned it the day after I received it and ordered this latest generation of TIMEX clock radio/CD player. I am elated with every aspect of this product. It is the perfect unit for a bedside table; sleek design occupying minimal space, every feature one could desire, including pre-sets, dual alarms, nature sounds, easy drop-down front-loading CD player, earphone jack and auxiliary input, excellent stereo separation when used with headphones, acceptable sound without, good reception with wire antenna (included). A super buy for under seventy dollars.

This has the best sound of any I've listened to. I can't believe it's just a clock radio. It comes preset, and the buttons are easy to find for all the features. I would buy this item again.
