For as many buttons as this thing has, you would think there would be a button to get to the things you're going to use the most.

Pressing the Snooze/Dimmer button again will bring the display back to full brightness. Pressing the OFF button will bring up a dim display of the time for about 5 seconds and then you can roll over and go back to sleep. Sadly, if it's off and you want to know what time it is in the middle of the night you would have to press the….wait for it……OFF button. Anyway, yes you can dim the display by hitting the Snooze/Dimmer button and you can even turn it all the way off.
I asked the reps to show me how it dims and once again I was reminded of a quote by a friend "these are the guys that work at the mall." After about 15 minutes of trying to show it to me, they were hopeless stuck in "demo mode" and couldn't get it out of that. I tested it with my iPhone 3GS with no problems.ĭimming the Display at Night – This was my FIRST concern when I walked in the Sony Style store. I should also report although you probably assumed this, that yes it does charge the latest generation of iPods and iPhones that charge over the USB pin. The big time display is very readable from across the room.
All you have to adjust is your Time Zone. As a matter of fact it comes already factory set to EST. The Automatic Daylight Savings Time Adjust and backup battery are nice too. So if you like to wake up to the sound of your kids or other loved ones, just have them speak into the built-in mic and you're all set. Speaking of iPod/iPhone support the dock itself is a standard universal dock so your existing and future inserts should work just fine.įun Wake-up is a cool feature that let's you record up to 3 of your own alarms.
Another really nice feature is while it can't transfer the photos directly from your iPhone/iPod (huh?), it can playback your photos, videos and movies. I really like the fact that you can sleep the display at night, yet with one button see what time it is without bringing the brightness all the way back up (blinding level). I also like the fact that it has a built-in memory so that you can load music, video and pictures on it without having to have your iPod or iPhone connected to view them/play them back. I like the dual alarm feature as well and the fact that either alarm can be set to any one of the many sources such as radio, iPod, or the nature sounds. It's not designed to be a stereo replacement, so the sound output is adequate. I think it's just big enough for what it does. Rather than spending a lot of time trying to describe it, here's a video I recorded: This clock radio, iPod dock has a nice big 7" display. OK, that's it.Ī couple of months back I saw a pre-announcement that Sony was coming out with an Alarm Clock that had a built-in iPod/iPhone dock – YAWN! I know, who cares right? There are so many options out there, what's Sony going to bring to the table? Well there was one thing that got my attention and that's the built-in digital picture frame. Ahhh, that's better! Wait, I forgot Dream Machine.
