This review is from: Sony ICFC717PJ Nature Sounds Clock RadioI though I finally found an alarm clock that had all the features I wanted:Dual alarmWeekend/weekdayProjectionTwo axis projection rotation (so you can project on wall or ceiling)Projection in red (so it's not too bright like blue)Decent designAnd then, I find out that the projection turns itself off after 10 hours! Why? What's the point? Why would I want the projection to be off after 10 hours? If I want it off, I would turn it off! The whole point is to see the time by just opening your eyes. Now I have to turn the damn thing on every time before I go to bed. And if I forget, I have to turn around, press the button and then see the time. Again, what's the point?!And if this is to save energy, the life of the LED or reduce heat dissipation, can't you coordinate the projection off with the time of day? There is a built-in clock righ there!Also, the Alarm Off button is burried in a row of 9 identical buttons. Couldn't you put a dimple on the damn thing so I know which button to push without having to look it up every morning? Or at least put it at the beginning of that row of buttons!...

This review is from: Sony ICFC717PJ Nature Sounds Clock RadioThe display lighting is pretty both on the clock face and the ceiling projection. At night, you can turn the face light off for a dark room and the ceiling display stays crisp and clear.Two big problems with this clock:1. They put a 10 hour timer on the projection then it will turn itself off.2. The thing between the numbers on the ceiling display BINKS! This is not a calming thing to look at!I wish they would take away the blinking and the 10 hour time limit. It would be nice is the room temperature would also be on the ceiling display.Came back to add a few things after using the clock a few nights. The numbers in the display face should be a bit more defined and you can't even see the temperature numbers unless you are pretty close.The speaker sound quality should be better from a product with the name "Sony" on it. Shame, shame!The soothing sounds would be super fantastic if the speakers were better quality and for heavens sake... KILL the seagulls screaming in the ocean wave sound will ya? It's suppose to be night time and we are suppose to be sleeping! Birds are suppose to sleep at night! If a bird starts singing around my house at night I'm outside throwing rocks at the tree~! Please! Just give me calming, ocean waves without the screaming birds? Because the speakers aren't that great, the rain sounds like hissing. The "under water" sound is ok so that's the one I use.I would be willing to pay good money if someone would invent the perfect projection clock with quality, soothing sounds to help me be able to sleep....

This review is from: Sony ICFC717PJ Nature Sounds Clock RadioThe product is good, the dual alarm works perfectly and the reception of the radion is excellent. The bird singing alarm is great too. The only drawback is the projection not strong enough. At complete darkness works perfectly well but if there is a bit of daylight i.e. after 7:00 in the morning, you can hardly see the projection unless you cover the windows with thick curtain...
