Had I read the reviews, I would not have purchased this yesterday. I was very pleased with the design and features, but I quickly found it had operational problems including these two issues which a firmware update did seem to fix: •Resolves an issue where the ICF-CL75iP may freeze or stop responding. •Resolves an issue where the alarm may not sound at the time set under certain circumstances. Some of the other reviewers say updates didn't fix their problems, but reviews before 9/29/2011 wouldn't include the latest update, so it's hard to know how to take them. I have a couple weeks to return it, so I'll just keep a close eye on how it works. LOVE THE FEATURES, however.

First, let me give credit where credit is due - this clock is absolutely beautiful. The large, color-rich display is stunning, and the user interface for navigating the expansive menu options was very well executed. Kudos to Sony's design team. The clock also has some very nice features, such as being basically a mini media center, multiple display modes, and its low-light night mode is perfect for people who don't like a lot of ambient light when they sleep. However, there are a lot of very annoying problems with this model. First, as people have mentioned, you cannot delete the stock photos from the gallery. This wouldn't even be such a huge problem if the clock would at least remember what photo you've chosen as your background wallpaper. Every time I dock my iPhone, or the alarm goes off, or some other seemingly innocuous activity occurs, the photo resets to the pink flower, which is not really my cup of tea. Second, when you dock your iPhone, unless the display mode is set to the brightest setting, an error message displays on your phone (saying that the device is not compatible), then disappears, then reappears, then disappears, etc. in an infinite loop. You have to set the clock to the brightest setting, dock your phone, then change the display back to the desired brightness. The whole process is ridiculously tedious. Third, there have been two occasions when the clock simply freezes and crashes (note: I've only had the clock for a little over a month). The only way to get it operational again is to unplug it, wait about 30 seconds, then plug it back in. (Luckily, it auto-sets the time, so you don't have to worry about performing setup again.) Lastly, there are times in the middle of the night (when my phone is docked) where the display on my phone lights up for no apparent reason and asks me if I'd like to enable airplane mode. The only way to fix this is to perform the steps above (i.e., undock the phone, change the brightness of the clock to max, re-dock the phone, change the brightness back to the desired setting). From what I can tell, all of the issues I'm having could be fixed with a rock-solid firmware update, and I'm hopeful that Sony is already working on the problem. I was disappointed that a clock that cost US$150.00 with the Sony brand name would have had most of the kinks worked out before being put into production. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case with this model. The bottom line is that this clock, while beautiful with great potential, is way too expensive for the problems you'll run into.

    Bad Experience. Not even worth for half the price.

    By DinilAD

    from Undisclosed

    Comments about Sony Black Multi-Function Clock Radio For iPod:

    No select all option to copy photos to internal memory. Wallpaper don't get loaded from external memory. Really bad user menu. for this much money they should put a calendar into it. too much button click to get something up and running. iPhone videos can't be controlled from sony. Not that good speakers.

        Comments about Sony Black Multi-Function Clock Radio For iPod:

        It was easy for a non technical person to set up. Yes, I had to read directions and work along with them. But, it's not too hard to get it off demo mode, keep preloaded pictures out of the pictures I'm viewing, learn to set the alarms, etc. I love the sleep mode - listen to rain and other nature sounds. The feature that turns down the light at night is great for those of us that have sleeping problems. You can still see the clock at the right angle, but it's completely dark. By far, my favorite clock I've owned -surpassing my bose is no small feat. Way to go Sony!

        Not very impressed

        from Ottawa Canada

        Comments about Sony Black Multi-Function Clock Radio For iPod:

        I have owned a lot of Sony products, I will rethink buying anything from Sony these days. This clock/ipod dock cost me over $200.00 CDN. I bought it for my oldest son for X-Mas and the clock does not work even after the firmware update to 1.10. I called Sony and they want to charge me for the fix, something clearly is a defect and they won't come good on it. I hope you read these reviews Sony. Your Bad!!!

        Comments about Sony Black Multi-Function Clock Radio For iPod:

        I own 2 of these. The clock freezes on both of them about 2 or 3 times a month and alarm doesn't go off. Have done the firmware updates and still have problems!! I love these, but they have bugs. After calling sony, they will do nothing about it except offer to charge you for repair. I have only owned them since June, 2011 and its end of October.....Sony says TOOOOO BAD, out of warranty. SONY, HEAR ME.......I WILL NOT BUY SONY AGAIN UNTIL YOU MAKE THIS RIGHT!!!!! I should have read the reviews before buying but it is an alarm clock. Stupid me!!!
