 The point of big snooze small on/off March 24, 2008
One of the reviewers writes

Like almost every other alarm clock in existence, the button to turn off the alarm is hard to find, while the snooze button is the size of Jupiter. If you enlarge the image of the clock on this site, you'll see three buttons on the lower right below the display. The one in the MIDDLE is the one that turns off the alarm. Yeah, good luck finding that button in the dark at 6:30am. I guess the engineers who build these things don't actually USE alarm clocks, or else they wouldn't do STUPID things like this.

If you stop and think about this, this is purposeful. If you hit the snooze, you are either getting up, or getting up in 9mins. If the on/off was huge and you hit it just to "shut it up" u will not get that 9min timer where it goes off again and you are definitely going to oversleep. So the snooze button is something like a safety. So if you get up at first buzz, you hit the snooze and a few seconds/minutes later, you actually turn it off when you can see a few feet. (I know how it is when ur just getting up.)
I hope this explains the reason why all alarm clocks follow this design.
 Bad unit March 24, 2008
The one we got is junk. Even with the brightness turned all the way up you can only just barely see the numbers for the time. I wonder if we got a used one that had been returned before.
sony large display March 20, 2008
I was looking for a large display clock when I noticed your Sony large display LCD clock radio. I was not interested in the radio but needed a clock display I could read across the room at night. I received the product in a timely manor with no shipping cost. A pluss as I am retired and on a fixed budget. I found the clock easy to read and the green LCD numbers pleasing to the eye.

I've been a long time Sony customer. I haven't written one bad review for their products until today. I bought a digital clock so you don't hear the ticking of an analong clock. This clock makes a very faint buzzing noise. When you press on the display the buzz stops. I'm not sure if it is an intermittent connection or a faulty component. Oh well, it only cost me $10. The search continues for a better one...
 clock does not work!!! March 8, 2008
I bought this clock in October but did not use it till December as it was a christmas present. The clock goes fast at least 20 minutes a day, so obviously is no use at all. The problem is I live down in Colombia, S. america and have stuff shipped down to me from my Miami adress from "mail boxes etc." so to send it back is not an option because it would cost more than the bloody clock cost in the first place. Needless to say I am VERY dissapointed.
