In 2023 I was shocked to find out that I paid a lot of money for a Clock / Radio that does not have any ability to sync or attach my phone. Everyone keeps play lists on their phone. Teenagers do not even use radios! I am extremely disappointed!

Great radio reception, nice dual alarm feature. But?..The projection turns off after 16 hours. Not sure why this would be considered a good feature because this was a primary reason I purchased this clock. But I have to remember to turn on projection every evening.

Works as it should for a alarm clock. Has some nice features like the clock projector and the USB charging port. The nature sounds leave much to be desired, don't sound very good. Has a digital radio tuner with 5 presets so no problem setting the stations I like. The sound is good for a clock radio. The setup is sort of complicated and the buttons are hard to identify and are placed in a fashion that when you try to press one you press 2 or 3 which is annoying.

Bought this on line, read the reviews and have to say I agree with them. Good looking, great radio, easy to set up, love the time being projected on the wall, and the brightness can be turned down.

Turns out this product does not have any switch to turn it off. I have to use volume control to put the volume to "0" instead of switching it off. And when I do that every time when I need to turn it on, I have to increase the volume again, which is annoying. I was advised to press ALARMRESET to turn off the radio, but this deletes all my settings and I need to set them again:-( Another advise was to unplug the product also doesn't seem like a nice contemporary solution.

I bought this because I wanted to hear fm radio music, specially before falling sleep. This radio satisfies me in clarity of reception of music, contrary to other brand radio which gave poor reception of classic music.

Amazing! Probably the best clock radio I?ve ever had. The time projector is awesome & because you can turn off the display there?s no pesky light to disturb your sleep. Getting it to turn on was a major issue though. I almost returned it because I thought it was defunct. After much fiddling & perseverance (removing the backup battery, turning it on & off, etc.) I finally got it to fire up.

I bought this for the projection function but it keeps turning itself of. After digging through the manual, I find it is designed this way. What numbnut thought that was a good idea? Would be a 5 star unit without that major fail. Possible they could do a firmware update to fix that?

A few issues. The display is white so it lights up the room too mush unless I dim it to the lowest light, then it?s hard to see in the day. Also the off button is hard to find in the morning and I glued a button to it so I can find it. I also need the manual to set it up. But even so I love this cube. I had a very old clock radio before and it?s so nice to have the weekday only option so I don?t need to remember to set the alarm. I love the nature sounds and I love that it starts out very soft and then increases in volume a bit, rather than blasting you out of sleep. The usb socket is very handy too. Reception is great. Very happy

I have only one suggestion for improvement. I like having two separate alarms. But it was not a good design to restrict operation to Weekdays or Weekends on each of the alarms. This is not necessary since either alarm could simply be chosen for any day -- thus allowing more flexibility. But this is a very nice product.

I received thjs unit as a Christmas present. Today is 1/28/2021 and it still isn';t set up and worling. Whoever had the idea to use grey for the lettering and half the letters don't even show up on the unit. I have one friend try with no success you don't know which button is which. Anr both of us are over 70 and the small print on the directiobs is unreadable without a Xglass.

Great value for the price. Good sound and real versatile. A bit complicated to use at first, so you have to read the operator's manual. I'm real happy with it.

A very diverse product with great clarity for such a small radio. I love the "Projection" feature onto my ceiling so I can lying on my bed at night look up at the ceiling and see the time.

The worst design ever. I have 3 college degrees and it took me an hour to figure out how to set the alarm. Why can't Sony use the same buttons as every other alarm clock on the planet? Because they SUCK.

We were in need of a radio for the master bedroom. Prefer Sony products and this radio meets our needs,

Why a unit that has a constant electric power supply would have expiring time projection function? It could be an option but...no. Back firing speaker - not the best solution. Option to see time, day, date on one display - could be much appreciated by someone!

I've had this clock radio for nearly 2 years and now, all of a sudden, I cannot view the time. At first, The projector would come one, but now, after unplugging it from the wall and removing the backup battery, nothing displays. I hear a beep when I press the alarm reset button, but no display of lights. I DO NOT want to purchase a new one, nor pay for support. Who can help?

There really ought to be an alarm out there with decent digital FM reception that had an alarm that was easy to set. This is not it.

We had an older Sony cube clock radio for over 15 years, and lived it. It finally needed an upgrade so we got this model, with the digital tuner. It holds the stations great, and the added bonus of dual alarms and the soft start volume. Nice! It sounds good for a compact unit. The little buttons make it a little challenging to set up initially (or just my old eyes! )

I really liked the versatility of the ceiling display, and the nature sounds are okay, but the sound quit after only 6 months.

The clock sits next to me on my nightstand and the ceiling time projection is upside down. Is this by design? Can it be changed?

It's pretty
By LD100
It's pretty, it's small, it's a clock radio. I can see it from across the room, the alarm goes off at the time it's set for, and it displays the time on the ceiling. That brings us to the first caution: the projector automatically shuts off after 16 hours. Your guess is as good as mine why? Second caution is the batter backup is a CR2032 rather than an easily available 9 volt or AA. Last caution is the speaker is 4 cm or 1 5/8 inches in diameter, so don't expect to use this as your main music...

Great Little Radio Alarm Clock
By pbrokaw
I've had this great little radio alarm clock for about two weeks now and I am happily satisfied with it in every way. This Sony product replaced an inferior product and I was amazed at the clarity of the radio reception. I was looking for digital precision on locking onto the stations and that is exactly what I got. Setting the alarm is not intuitive but certainly easy enough to master after a few times. I saw a comment on another review complaining about the projection function of this clock...

Always stay on top of your schedule with this Sony ICFC1PJ Alarm Clock Radio with Time Projection (Nature Sound). Its large, easy-to-read LCD display with jumbo LEDs are bright without being disruptive, while the tilt able projector display shines the time almost anywhere so you don't even need to look at the clock to know there's still time to hit the snooze. Plus, the 5 different nature sounds can lull you to sleep or rouse you from slumber and battery back-up helps ensure if the power goes out, your clock won't.
Convenient time projection
See the time without lifting your head by projecting the time on your wall or ceiling. The convenient swivel projector can tilt up to 180 degrees, enabling you to project the time virtually anywhere, while the adjustable focus knob keeps it all clear. For convenience, the projector can be turned on and off as desired.
Soothing nature sounds
Fall asleep or wake to 5 of nature's most soothing sounds including: Ocean waves, Birds, Rain, Brook and under the sea using the programmable sleep timer, or wake alarm. The comforting nature sounds not only act as natural sleep aids, but, also help to relieve stress.

A convenient, side-mounted USB port is ready to charge your compatible devices, including: Smartphone, MP3 players, or tablets.

Dual alarms
Set two separate wake times with the dual alarm feature.
Programmable sleep timer

Easy, Automatic Time Set
Setup is a snap! The C1PJ comes preset to current Eastern Standard Time, (EST), so all you need to do is plug it in and set the correct time zone.
No Power, No Problem

Snooze button
For those mornings when you just can't seem to wake up there's a snooze button to let you catch a little extra shuteye. The sound turns off, but will automatically come on again after about 10 minutes
Automatic Daylight Savings Time adjustment
The built-in calendar even recognizes the date, automatically adjusting for Daylight Savings or Standard time.
Adjustable brightness control
With the adjustable brightness control you can ensure you are easily able to read the display during the day and not distracted at night because the display is too bright when trying to sleep.
