I will be purchasing this version because I want to upgrade. Never any problems with original clock--no complaints.Great product and idea--way to go Emerson. I have had the original smart clock from Emerson Research for over 10 years and it's still going strong. The older clock will go into my second bedroom--still working fabulously.
I opened it up and plugged in the clock radio and the numbers just went wild and set to the right time zone which is EST., so far so good. 1 is for Atlantic, 2 is for Eastern Standard Time, 3 is for Centeral, 4 is for Mountain, 5 is for Pacific, 6 is for Yukon (Alaska), & 7 is for Hawaii. OK down to business to those of you who are technology challenged, about the clock radio not setting right, you know there is a time zone button you press and the arrow button to display the time zone, here is the instructions for "in a rush set-up": 1. 2. The numbers are large enough to read across the room at wee hours of the morning when you are groggy & vision isn't focused. When the correct zone number appears in the display, release the buttons and the correct time, month, date, and day will appear.
Plug it in and extend AC cord fully (pkug in all the way) as it also serves as your intenna. If you live in a different time zone, hold the "TIME ZONE" button and press either the "DOWN" or "UP" buttons to select your own time zone. it started to go, first the alarm was touch and go and the stations just had a white noise, so i tossed it out and ordered the Emerson Radio Jumbo Triple Display Dual Alarm AM/FM Clock Radio with Smartset Technology, even though i read some negative reviews and alot of positive ones, I came to my conclussion to make the purchase, and it arrived 4 days before the due date. I am impressed with the fast ordering and immediate shipping.
also for those of you that say the volume is low when you have it cranked up., if you clean the corn out of your ears, you'd probably hear it better.or you all just got the bad batch. but you must read the owners manual carefully. I never had any problems ordering from amazon or any of the merchants. well, you get what you pay for and it is true with the clock radio.
I then set the dual alarm and tested it out, it works perfectly. I highly recommend this product 100%. The display will automatically set the time, monthe, date, and day correctly for the Eastern Time Zone(2). I don't see anything wrong with this clock radio, the only thing i see is electronic challenged people.
i had a small LED clock radio i had purchased at a retail store on sale sale for $9.99 6 weeks ago. the clock radio is DA' BOMB, "creme de la creme". 3.
Programmable for weekdays and weekends. It is just what we needed. Dual alarms. Display goes on with a wave of a hand.
The only reason I'm writing this is for those of you who are light sleepers, the display is bright. Hope this helps. Over all the clock is a good buy. In some pictures it looks red but is in fact orange.
I am picky. The automatic time set on this is very nice. I use this in place of the GE Dual Alarm phone combo and it is much better reception. It meets all my needs. It is easy to set up.
I have not found a Dual alarm, clock radio and wireless phone that works well. The GE is digital so you can try to get 2 different stations but it never worked correctly. The same station plays for both alarms, meaning that you can't select different stations for different times. This has a small footprint and good sound. The stations are not digital, it is a dial.
All in all this works very well, it's inexpensive, and small.
