I tried to replace my old alarm clock radio, a clock radio can play MP3 ... Rather disappointed with this purchase, for three reasons: - The power of the light is adjustable (Low, Medium and High). But unfortunately, even "Low", it remains particularly bright in a room plunged into darkness (principle of night). If you can sleep with a spot in the head, this device is for you. The large numbers and illumination color (white, blue sky and not as one might think in the illustration) accroîent this light: it is no coincidence that most clock radios have colors 'green or red display. - Second design error (but I bought knowingly): verticality of the unit. It's silly to say, but in the morning, emerging, we are often a bit awkward, with the goal of finding the button to turn off the ringer. If manufacturers are designing stable clock radios, it's not a coincidence! - Finally, the third disappointment, but it has to come from my naivety: it takes a MP3 player to enjoy USB functionality (put a USB stick with music directly into the camera does not work).
So, also taking into account the fact that the device is supplied with a remote control (required for programming), I do not recommend this as Sonoclock alarm clock! Maybe those seeking only a fixed radio will be satisfied.
