Title: Advanced Options (Hopefully You're not looking to tell Time)
Review: This is a beautifully designed clock radio. After failing with a previous Sony Dream Machine, I was glad to know this one had a battery back up. Unfortunately, the time display also features a back light for all of the front buttons. There are 3 brightness adjustments, however during daylight hours, it's very difficult to read (So good luck reading the clock display if there is a touch of sunlight coming in your room). If I try to place it on the brightest setting, this area of the room is filled with the bright and somewhat annoying blue light. I'm sure one could get accustomed to this, but why pay this amount of money if it's not nearly perfect?Pros:**Lots of functions**Battery back up (lithium built in)**Digital TunerCons:**Very poor clock display.**Unable to adjust the clock display without adjusting every other button on the face at the same time.
