Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I bought this as a gift for my sister. She loves using it for her iPod and CDs but many of the local radio stations come in fuzzy or not at all. The sound quality is good but could be better. Overall, it was a good purchase for the price and my sister seems to really be enjoying it!
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
We wanted an off the counter radio/cd-kitchen timer product, and this fits attractively under the cabinet with compact style, but the sound quality is not as good as I would like. So, try to listen to it before you buy it.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
the radio was not too hard to install. it works very well at playing cd and i also connect my ipod to it and it works well. the radio has a bit of static, and i think i need to adjust the power cord to improve reception.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
[...] good price for item and shipping. The AM tuner is not the greatest, lots of interference and noise, even for local stations. Overall, happy with the product and purchase experience.

Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Installed easily, well thought out design. clock and readout is a bit small, but ok. The directions say to orient the unit to get good AM reception and then install it. Of course, I had to completely move my kitchen to do that. How stupid can Sony be?
What I did find is that other noise producers on the same AC circuit, such as a digital picture frame, produced huge noise that screwed up the AM terribly. Once that was unplugged, AM was ok. Should be an external antenna connection to make it better, or a knob to rotate the ferrite AM antenna. What a classic faux pas.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Product produces a nice sound. One AM channel reception was not clear (some static). Wish they would make external antenna options.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Nice sound in the kitchen. Like the CD player.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Mounts out of the way in the kitchen.
Brings in all FM stations we desire.
Good sound. Presets are very handy.
Plays cd's as expected.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Speakers face forward offering far more opportunities for uses around the home or elsewhere than simply an under cabinet kitchen clock radio.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
The quality is good.
The remote works better and has more features.
easy installation.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
[...] thank you very much!
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
The contacts bent when I tried to insert the backup battery. I had to remove about a dozen tiny screws and pull the top cover off to straigten out the contacts and get the battery poitioned right. Also, I wish there was a seperate antenna - it uses the power cord so there is not much adjustment.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I love listening to music while I cook. I love the Radion/CD player. Also, this product is extremely special because I can play songs from my MP3 player in the kitchen.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
This is an attractive under-the-counter radio with built-in wiring and rack to hold an MPP3 player or iPod. It comes with a remote control, which is great, but there is nowhere to attach it to the unit, so it may get easily lost. The sound is great, and it is easy to program favorite channels. I am pleased with the purchase.
Delivery was unbelievably fast. Ordered one day and here the next. Super!
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
this radio had the best sound quality of the five we tested in the store. we have one in the kitchen and bought another for our camping trailer.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Very nice sound from a compact design. I would definitely buy again.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I just wanted to add some music to my kitchen. I love it! It was real easy to install and it blends right in with my appliances.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I love having the remote. I set this up in the kitchen and can adjust from the dining room - ideal. Also with the remote you can jump around the FM/AM pre-sets as well as back and forth to the cd.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Frees up lot of counter space here in the kitchen.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I like the looks and the fact it plays CD's. I am very disappointed that now I can't get my favorite FM radio stations. They came through fine on my old radio that I replaced. This new one is in exactly the same spot as my old one was.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
We bought this new am-fm-cd-mp3-player radio for our condo in town because we liked our old one that's been in the kitchen of our cottage for some time.
The new one has better sound, better fm reception, a cd player and an aux audio input, and also seems to have all the positive attributes of the old one (reliability, ease of use, digital fine tuning, etc.). It has very good but not excellent radio reception because the antenna is built into the power cord and the orientation that the power cord is required to take in our current kitchen configuration isn't ideal. Maybe when we redo the kitchen later this year we can figure out a way route the power cord better.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
My wife wanted a radio in the kitchen. She is happy with this one.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I like this product. Good quality, features and sound. Returned the GE Model.
Abt provided great service, easy ordering and quick delivery
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Only issue is that CD's don't automatically repeat. That would have been a nice feature.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Used this Sony to replace an 11 year old GE that had troubles playing burned and store bought CDs.[...]
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
This unit is replacing a similar Sony product which was working fine except for the fact that the "flat buttons" pushed totally through (as they eventually will with that type of button) rendering the equipment useless. I purchased this new unit because it works by using "old fashioned" push buttons which I believe should last much longer. I was especially pleased when I realized that the volume control isn't a button at all but rather a wheel on the side of the unit (little things make me happy).
Installation was fairly easy and one can easily figure out how to use the equipment without reading the instuctions. Sound quality is fine on CDs and adequate on radio stations.
Overall I am extremely happy with this purchase.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Wanted this for my kitchen... has great sound and has a reasonable price.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I gave the unit as a Christmas gift. The persons receiving the radio was very pleased with the selection.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
use in my laundry/sewing room so that I can listen while I work
excellent price and prompt delivery--very pleased and will return to Abt when looking for a product they carry
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Sony products are worth the extra you pay! Never a maintenance or operational problem. Buyers of this kitchen radio should be prepared to modify the template to suit their cabinet but holes are accurate.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
This is the first undercabinet radio I've owned and was nervous purchasing one for my wife for Christmas. However, after reading reviews of other radios and then this one, this seemed the best fit for me. The result has been a great radio, great sound, nice features and good quality I would expect from Sony.
The only problem was the radio reception (something common to all these types of radios, it seems). Before I mounted it, the reception was amazing, but after mounting it it was terrible, and I can only receive one station. Since the antenna is the power cord, the location and position of it where I've mounted the radio all combine to poor reception (it's the only place I can mount it as well).
The good news is we really play CDs so it is perfect for our needs. I'll figure out something about that reception somehow....
Excellent processing and shipping! Great Website too!
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Caution - The template is easy to drip holes, but recommend bringing the template forward by 1/2 inch for more attractive dispay under the cabinet so it can be flush with the underside of the cabinet
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
This is a very nice unit like most other things made from Sony. The sound is very good for such a small unit. Easy to install. Radio has good reception. Buttons are easy to understand. The attached drop-down cable is very useful for running my mp3 player music into it. The only thing that it could really use is a weather radio but that's not a deal breaker.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I bought this for my wife; she loves it! took me 15min. to install. sound is very good for a system of this type and it is easy to setup and use. I would recomend this systm; to anyone who wants a small; compact sound system.

Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Excellent product for mother in law's small kitchen. Frees up a good deal of counter space for her. Above average reception with line cord antenna outperforms previous unit which had external antenna
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Great sound, simple installation, we love the mp3 feature!
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Sounds good for type of radio it is. Only criticism is the reception since the cord may or may not be able to be extended where the unit is located.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I like it.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
This unit replaced a GE undercounter radio CD player. There is No comparison between the two. GE sounded tinny all the time, plus it failed in its first year. The Sony sounds every bit as goo as a Bosse radio, and the CD player sound is awsome.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
This product exceeded my expectations! Great sound, ease of use, and loaded with features. The MP3 plug in is a very nice feature. Plenty of radio presets. Very easy installation. I use this product in a small room, but it has enough power for a larger room. I highly recommend this product.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I was hesitant to purchase this item after reading about some problems with reception. I decided to go ahead buy it and see for myself. I mounted it under my kitchen cabinet. Very easy to install. Plugged it in, and went through the stations to see how many I could get. To my surprise, I received more stations than I'll ever listen to. All my favorites and many, many more. The reception is very, very good. I have no complaints about this radio and would recommend it to anyone who is considering buying one.
Delivery was extremely fast and the item was exactly as described. Great merchant.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I have it in my kitchen so that I may listen to music or books on CD while preparing meals or doing other chores.

Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
The Sony CD Clock Radio has easy to understand controls and clear sound. We are really enjoying it. The only negative, it was a bit hard to attach to the bottom of the cabinet.

Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Good Sound,Sleek Layout and Easy Installation Added By A Drill Hole Guide.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
it fits the bill, just what I wanted,the remote funtion is a plus and the ability to just stick it on the fridge door was a great thought.
I do have a little problem with the adhesive to hold the cord to the cabinet, but I added some double side tape.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I live on the fringe of a metro and some stations crossover. Not a big thing. This unit is much better than the unnamed brands that cost under $40. Spend the extra money. You do get what you pay for on this type of device.
Very prompt delivery - Great packaging.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
One evening I could not get good radio reception, but this may be a local thing.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
I have been waiting to get this for the longest time and finally after remodeling the kitchen decided to purchase it and I am glad I waited as I got a great deal. With the template that was provided, installation was a breeze; took all of 10 min. Now I can have great music while I cook and it doesn't take up valuable counter space. This model also has a built-in audio cable so I can hook up my IPOD to it.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
We bought this radio when we remodeled our kitchen and it couldn't have been easier to install. Great sound, slim design, the internal antenna seems to work fine with both AM & FM stations. (provided you follow the suggestions and not place it near your fridge, microwave, range, etc.) We spend a lot of time in our kitchen and this just makes it all the more enjoyable!
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Perfect for under a kitchen cabinet. The MP3 input jack is great for attaching your iPod.
Great service from Abt!
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
This radio gets good reception. I really like the MP3 player cable to play through the radio speakers

Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
This meets my needs perfectly...music in the kitchen while cooking and not disturb the rest of the house. I was surprised how good the sound quality was.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Looks great and sleek. Sounds so much better that the GE I replaced with this Sony. I can turn it up and get a super-rich sound. Not 'hollow' as before. I would recommend this at 100%!

Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Overall I like it, especially the easy use of the minute timer. However, the front panel LCD display of the time cannot be read from more than several yards away (unlike my old GE LED undercounter unit); also reception is very dependent on orientation of the power cord & I have trouble getting a good signal for some distant stations that I could before. However, on stations that it receives well, the sound quality is great. All in all I'm not sorry I bought this model & received excellent service from abt.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Did considerable research on best models of this type of under-counter radio and knew the Sony was at or near the top. [...] Love the magnetic remote that sticks to bottom of unit or on frig, sound is very good, the instructions for install went perfect with four holes lining up exactly where they needed to connect with unit. Replaces a reliable unit of 20 years and already we wish we'd found this years ago.
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Easy to install and operate. Style is sleek and appealing. [...] can't ask for more
Comments about Sony Sony Under Cabinet Kitchen CD Clock Radio:
Everyone in my family uses this product. My son loves the connection for his ipod. I love the convenience of having it under the counter. My husband and I both use the radio and/or CD player everyday.
