This chain is the best I've ever had It displays time, lets you wake up to be with the CD you made be with the radio. There are many programs, so I find that this chain is very helpful and can be controlled remotely using the remote control. Only small problem is not time infrared which helps to know what time it is when it gets dark and the document is not in French, but if you're doing well in English or German you should be happen. I would not recommend this article !!!
