Motorized Front Load CD
Customer Reviews:
what a waste 
in reading others peoples review I felt I must chime in and tell you that after about a year of use… we are talking at night just pressing play for the cd player in my daughter’s room, very light use. the CD player stopped playing and the cd door will not open. I think I will have to break the thing to get my miles davis cd back. I am disappointed. It is ugly and not user friendly either. wish I could return it and get my money back. Now I am on amazon looking for a replacement. don’t buy it.
Don’t Waste Your Money
This really seemed like a good idea. To have the option of playing cds at the bedside. Four months into owning the unit, the front door would no longer open and close. I had read previous reviews and took the chance, but would not recommend the product to anyone who wants a combination unit alarm.
Don’t buy it–breaks in a couple of months
I got this for a Christmas present. Right away, the CD portion was broken–it played CDs too fast, so what came out was chipmunk speed. At the time, I didn’t worry about it because I had an mp3 player. I enjoyed the clock for a couple of months, then the CD door broke–not because I was playing CDs, but because when I woke, I confused the CD open/close button (on top of the clock) with the snooze button (at the bottom of the clock). Very poor button placement.
A week after the CD door broke, I came in and noticed that the clock screen was blank–the light was on, but no numbers were showing. I couldn’t turn on the radio, play the CD. Nothing.
I got the gift in January. It completely broke in April.
I am never getting it again.
Great sound for a small CD player 
I liked this product so much I bought 6 more. So many of these small CD playes have such tinny sound and cheap construction. This piece sounds great and I’m expecting many years of service from it, just like the one I originally purchased 4 years ago.
Best Alarm Clock I’ve Ever Had 
I received this alarm clock for my Brithday last April. I ahev really enjoyed it. I have had none of the problems I have seen listed in other reviews here.
I do agree that the button layout takes some getting used to. The snooze button is not where one would anticipate it being, and this led to me searching for it the first few mornings I was awakened. I did acidentally open the cd disc holder a few times, since that button is where you intuitively think the snooze button should be. However, after the first few nights this has not been a problem.
It is nice to be able to choose which color you want the display to be. I typically keep it set to green. When the alarm goes off in the morning the display changes to red and flashes with the alarm. It will stay red after you hit snooze. This has been helpful to me (I am a heavy sleeper and sometimes forget that I have been hitting snooze for an hour) since I know I am in the process of oversleeping if I glance at the clock in morning and it is red. the display turns back to your default color when you turn the alarm off or after the alarm has been going off or being “snoozed” for two hours.
The sleep function is nice, and it is easy to set the amount of time the radio/cd will play before going to sleep. The only thing I would have liked to see here would be for the music to fade out when sleep timer is out. As it is it just shuts off, which is standard for clock radios, but a fade would be nice.
Overall I am very pleased with this clock, and I normally don’t like anything from RCA.
