RCA RP5640

Pros: Variable Light Time Display; Digital Radio Tuning; Automatic Clock

Cons:

The instruction manual is a little hard to understand

The Bottom Line: I see that other users have been unhappy with this product, I am very happy with it - it has excellent sound and lots of features for the price.

Review: I bought this clock radio cd player in October, 2008, and I really like it. The sound is really good for a radio cd player costing no more than $60.00. It has so many features, many of which I will not use, but the overall quality feels good and it ...

Pros: Dual alarm, nap/sleep/snooze, background light options

Cons: 2 of the background lights are too dim; can't see them in the dark

Review: I got this dual alarm/clock radio as a b'day gift on 2/18/07. So far, it's awesome! Easy to use, although it took both my husband and I a little while to read through the instructions. Lots of buttons I probably won't use, but I like the features it ...

Pros: Adjustable snooze time, battery backup for clock and alarm.  Decent radio and sound.

Cons: CD player door stopped working, FM radio antenna is in the power cord. 

The Bottom Line: Great as AlarmClockRadio. CDplayer, WeatherRadio, and AutoClock set didn't work well.  I'm keeping it, so I cut the wires to CDplayer to stop the irritating motor spin.

Review:      I really liked this alarm clock when I first brought it home, then I realized that the mp3 capability was to use the audio in capability to allow an mp3 player to play through the speakers.  This model does not play CDs with ...

Pros: MP3/IPOD input works well.

Cons: Not sure if tech support exists for this product.

Review: I purchased the RP5640 because the internet manual (preliminary spec) says it plays MP3 CD's. I have been unable to get MP3 CD's to play on the radio and my two emails to tech support have gone unanswered. There doesn't seem to be a phone number for ...

Pros: electronic tuning and push button volume controls. But these buttons didn't work after 29 days.

Cons: Procedure for setting alarm time is not intuitive. FM antenna inadequate.

Review: I bought the RP5640 on January 8, 2007 at Best Buy. Got it home and the buttons that set the alarm time would not work. Returned it and exchanged for the same model. This one worked until the 29th day! Then pressing the down volume button turned the ...

Pros: Adjustable light intensity and color. Display shows both alarm wake up modes (CD/radio/buzzer).

Cons:

Very hard to see function of chrome buttons that control the CD.

Review: It has many nice features, but what good are they if they don't work. The back-up batteries die after about a month, with no way to tell when they are running low. As a result, I could not depend on the alarm working when there was a power failure. Then ...
