Sony ICF C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm White

Sony ICF C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm White




The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so you don’t have to re-set the clock. When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments. Dual Alarms with Alarm Indicator permits two separate wake-up times with individual wake-up settings and confirms that the alarm has been activated to turn on at the pre-set time. Choose your own snooze time instead of being held captive by the short time intervals of other snooze times. Each press of the snooze button adds an additional 10 minutes to your total snooze time for up to a full hour of uninterrupted sleep. Dual Alarms with Alarm Indicators Extendable Snooze AM/FM Analog Tuner Built-in Calendar Frequency Range – AM 530-1710 kHz, FM 87.5-108 MHz Power Requirements – AC 120V, 60Hz Output Power – 120mW at 10% harmonic distortion Battery Life (Approx) – Up to 250 Days (with Sony battery) Speaker Dimensions – 2 5/8-inch (66mm) Dimensions – Width 6 1/8 x Height 3 5/16 x Depth 5 15/16 inch (155 x 82.8 x 151.5mm) Weight – 1 pounds 2 ounces (524 grams)

4 Stars Would give 5 if not for the battery
Arrived shiny new and cute. This little thing is decent and its double alarm function is well worth the money! Ajustable clock digit illumination just adds to its perfect design. I actually use the default(brightest) and it’s far from “too bright” at all. FM sound quality fairly acceptable, even “mono” mode for every station (due to a solo speaker).

The backup battery fails to keep the time on its arrival, which is the only reason for not giving the 5th star. Battery changed and it rocks!

All in all, Dream Machine, literally.

4 Stars Wake Up Call!
This is great item for the price. Claity is really good! Love it!!!!

5 Stars BUY IT
It’s a dual time set alarm clock with radio. You can set your snooze times and have an extra alarm to wake you if needed. For the money, you won’t find better any where local, unless you work at Sony.

3 Stars Not bad for the price
I recently bought this to replace one that always lost the time if there was a power outage. Even new backup batteries did not help.

Pros: Small, nice radio reception, time is already set, keeps time in case of power outage

Cons: You have to re-activate the alarm daily after turning it off in the morning. Not a good thing!

Setting the alarm with the button on the side requires two hands.

Overall not a bad alarm clock though (if you remember to activate the alarm again :) ).

2 Stars Nice but very quiet alarm
The radio works great as do the dual alarms. Everything works as you’d expect and makes common sense.

The only disappointment is that the alarm is very soft. There’s a high/low switch, but the difference between the 2 levels is almost imperceptible.

Other than the alarm it’s a nice clock radio.

Sony ICF C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm White




Always know what time it is. The Sony ICF-C318 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio with Dual Alarm has a 0.9″ green LED display that is easily viewable from across the room, but takes up very little space on your nightstand. It hosts a number of features including automatic time set, automatic Daylight Savings Time adjustment, dual alarm, built-in calendar, AM/FM tuner and full power memory back up. The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. Dual alarms with individual alarm indicators let you set two separate wake-up times with differing wake-up settings. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so when the power returns you don’t have to re-set the clock.

5 Stars I’d love to be able to give a review
We’re still awaiting the delivery of the Sleep Sheep, so we’re unable to give a review. We love the Twilight Turtle we ordered at the same time. “We” are two underpaid and overworked gay grandads who shop early and thoughtfully for birthday presents and Christmas presents for our soon to be seven grandchildren. Hopefully, the Sleep Sheep will arrive in time to be a Christmas present for our youngest grandaughter, due in July. We’re rating it tentatively at 5 stars, the equal of the Twilight Turtle, as being a perfect toy for a perfect age. The Twilight Turtle is destined for our then-to-be-almost-two youngest grandson. When we do receive it, I will gladly update this review.

5 Stars Sleep Sheep Soothes Soundly
This is the second time I’ve sent a Sleep Sheep as a gift to a newborn. Both sets of parents tell me that their babies are probably happier and better adjusted since the Sheep joined the household, and will probably get better grades throughout school. :-) ) Don’t hesitate! Add a Sleep Sheep to your crib without delay.

5 Stars Another solid product from the Cloud b line
We bought the Sleep Sheep, Twilight Turtle, & Lavender Lab for our daughter who is now 3 months old. All of the products are all well-made & worthy purchases. We’ve been using the Twilight Turtle since day 1 & it’s been a LIFESAVER on many occassions. All we need to do is turn off the lights & put this on & she immediately quiets down when she’s overtired & over-stimulated. Usually she quiets down within 5 minutes & loves looking at the moon & stars.

I just started putting the sheep next to her in her pack & play at night. I’d coslept with her since she came home from the hospital, but now that I’m back to work, I’m trying to get her to sleep on her own. As anyone who’s coslept knows, it’s NOT an easy habit to break. The Sleep Sheep has really helped soothe my daughter. I just put it on the heartbeat sound & put it nearby. Maybe she feels like she’s still sleeping close to me. I love that it stays on for a considerable time & automatically shuts off without me having to worry about getting up to turn it off myself. We go through dozens of batteries in our house so anything with an automatic shut-off is a huge help, especially at nighttime! It also has a volume control which is another nice feature. I had it on last night & not only did it lull my daughter to sleep, but I found it made me sleepy too!

I definitely recommend buying any of these products with confidence. Can’t say too much about the Lavendar Lab as she’s still a little too young to appreciate stuffed animals just yet, but I’d happily give any of these items as gifts of recommend them to others.

5 Stars Nice Lamb
I’m sure the new grandchild will enjoy this. I especially like the volume control for the soothing sounds.

3 Stars Unable to be accurate
Unable to comment and review the item accurately as this was bought as a gift for a newborn in the States and was delivered to her directly. I have not seen the item although the parents say the baby loves it.

5 Stars Love this lamb
I love this lamb. It is so soft. I like the ocean sound to lull me to sleep.

5 Stars love it
One of the best baby gifts that I received. It is a cute little white noise machine.

5 Stars Great product to help baby (and parents!) sleep
We put this on our registry after seeing recommendations and reviews online. Sure enough, it’s been very helpful in getting our newborn to sleep. It offers soothing sound that functions as white noise, too, so that he stays asleep. We’re not tiptoeing around, mind you, but just appreciate that steady sonic wallpaper….. I imagine it wouldn’t work for everyone, but we’ve found it to be great. 45 minute setting is about right, though I wish you could just burn up batteries and keep it on continuously…

5 Stars Nice Lamb
I’m sure the new grandchild will enjoy this. I especially like the volume control for the soothing sounds.

5 Stars Wonderful to help newborn (and parents) get to sleep
My son is 5 days old and this is wonderful! It definitely helps him get to sleep and stay soothed. Not to mention that the sounds are also helpful for the parents! He is currently sleeping in the pack & play in our room, and it’s helping us all rest during these long nights.

5 Stars sony Auto time set clock radio
this clock radio is great. Easy to set, three different light settings for night time viewing, dual alarms, battery backup.

5 Stars Great Value
I’ve had my first clock for over a year, and recently bought a second for the guest room. The clock automatically sets the time. It also adjusts for daylight savings time appropriately. Digital read out readily visible, but not so bright that it illuminates the room at night. Primary use as a clock, since radio reception isn’t terrific, but for the price it is still a good value.

5 Stars Very Easy to Use.
I bought this for my wife. She hates complicated alarms and this is by far the easiest we have found. Multiple alarms are easy to switch between and changing the alarm time is easy. It comes preset. The backup battery should last a very long time. It is hard to screw this one up.

5 Stars Top choice alarm
This alarm clock has the right functionality. It is easy to use; and to maintain with AC adapter.

4 Stars Nice Little Clock Radio For The Price
Let’s just get to the bottom line, shall we? You can examine the other reviews for how this works, etc.; but I’m no technician.

Let me just say that it does work. It’s Fourteen bucks. It’s probably the best you’ll find for that kind of money. And certainly as accurate and easily set as you’ll find.

And just what do you need in a clock radio, anyway? Louder alarm must be considered; but sound quality? Don’t we all use another piece of electronics for most of our music? This ain’t no two-grand quadraphonic sound system; but it won’t hurt your tender ears, either. The main thing about this is that it sets itself and is very accurate, something all can’t lay claim to. To me, that’s what’s important.

Just a nice little clock radio for the price, that’s it.
