Title: Defective out of the box -- steer clear
Product review: This clockSony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (Black)Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (White)Sony ICF-C218 Automatic Time Set Clock Radio (White)is supposed to automatically set the time to U.S. Eastern Daylight (EDT), but when I plugged it in and set the date, it showed 1:08 AM but the current EDT was actually 8:08 PM!!! I unplugged and tried again with the same result. Apparently, the clock had been set for Greenwich time (e.g. London, England) instead of EDT. And there does not appear to be any way to set the time manually. You would think they would be careful that the key feature ("Automatic Time Set") would actually work.
