 My Sony Dream Machine December 27, 2008
H. A. Williams (Burke, VA)
I ordered the dream machine in November and received it promptly from Amazon a few days later. I have always been a fan of the dream machine since the late eighties and have continued to upgrade w/ a new dream machine over the years. This product works well as a docking station and charger for my iphone and its not as big and bulky as my previous alarm clock (The I-home). It has a contemporary look and very easy to set up. Also the digital display isnt too bright which was a huge problem with my other alarm clock. Absolutely no complaints with this product.

There are many types of devices for the iPhone on the market. I gave this one as a gift and the recipient seems to be very pleased with my choice.
 It's actually pretty good for what it's meant to be December 10, 2008

I bought and returned the Sony ICF-C1IPMK2 a few weeks ago. You can find my review of it and my reasons for sending it back. In brief, audible distortion killed it for me. I subsequently ordered the ICFCD3iP with the expectation that sound output would be weaker.
I received the CD3iP today and I'm happy to say that it accomplishes its mission very well. It's not meant to be a Bose SoundDock, but it produces very well behaved sound. Let me see if I can explain it further...
First, there is absolutely no audible distortion. The sound is clean and well balanced; it has weight and is not as tinny as some would suggest. For a clock radio, the speaker does a remarkably good job. The volume goes up to level 20, which is loud enough for a single room but not loud enough to damage your ears. Realize that it's a small speaker and keep your expectations reasonable. Even at maximum volume there is no distortion and the sound is tightly controlled.
The FM tuner does a superb job of producing a clean and clear output with no listener fatigue. Small amounts of hiss or noise can quickly lead to fatigue, so it's particularly gratifying to have an FM radio to which I can listen at length. NPR (local 88.5) comes through very nicely.
The alarm and clock are thoughtfully designed. Large numbers are easy to read, the display has 3 brightness levels, and the dual alarms can be set for weekday, weekend, and wake-to-radio, wake-to-iPod, wake-to-CD, or wake-to-buzzer.
Alarm and radio presets are backed up by an onboard battery, so no flashing 12:00 after a power outage.
iPod/iPhone integration is the same as on the ICF-C1IPMK2. The remote lets you navigate your iPod.
Overall I'm quite happy with the design and performance of the CD3iP. It replaces a 12 year old alarm clock without taking any more space while adding CD, Radio, and iPod playback.
Functional, good looking, but need better sounds December 3, 2008

This clock radio looks very good on my night stand, with very easy to read digits. It also has all functions, like CD, radios and ipod, etc. However, the not so good sound quality withdraws it from a perfect clock radio. Due to its small speakers, it sound like a small portable radio.
Nice clock radio January 8, 2009

I've had this since just before Christmas and have no complaints so far. I wanted an alarm clock where I could wake up to my iPod but also have a CD alarm. I've used it to wake up to bought and burned CDs as well as my iPod and it's worked every time. There are a few neat things about the clock I like: 1) The clock sets itself 2) You can set two alarms and you can set the alarms to wake up on weekends or weekdays (and it displays the current day) 3) I can fall asleep to a CD and wake up to my iPod 4) It charges my iPod 5) The remote controls the iPod itself too. Also, for an alarm clock I think the sound is pretty good. Two things to note however. First, the display is kinda bright. It has a dimmer with three settings but even the lowest setting is brighter than a normal clock. It doesn't bother me but if you need your room pitch black to sleep, this is not the clock for you. Second, just a heads up, the default for waking up to the iPod is by artist in alphabetical order. To wake up to a playlist you actually have to go to your playlist, select the first song, pause it, then turn off the iPod. It says this in the instructions but it's not obvious. Overall, I really like this clock. Here's hoping it lasts, unlike the mini stereo I was waking up to before I bought this.
