Description:
Frequent travelers will appreciate Sony's ICF-CD2000, an ultraslim clock radio that also sports a CD player, letting you either drift to sleep or wake to your favorite tunes. As an added bonus, the ICF-CD2000 includes a small pair of built-in speakers as well as a set of supplied headphones. Pop open the brushed-aluminum lid to reveal the CD transport and control panel (tucked into the base) as well as a backlit LCD screen, clock functions, and two miniature speakers (housed in the lid). A telescoping FM antenna of questionable value juts out the back. Setting the clock, alarm time, wake-up mode, and preset stations is refreshingly simple, and we love the world/local modes, which instantly tells the time of any time zone you assign to it. Plus, there's a button that jumps the clock back and forth between daylight-savings time and standard time, eliminating the need to reset the clock every six months. Sony's Mega-bass control adds a welcome fullness to the sound of the ICF-CD2000's speakers, which sound too thin without it. The supplied headphones are an improvement, but here the Mega Bass is overwhelming, so use caution when switching between speaker and headphone listening. Four AA batteries (not included) drive the ICF-CD2000 for portable use, while the supplied lithium battery insures that the clock will stay set--and even buzz you awake--during power interruptions. Although a bit pricey, Sony's ICF-CD2000 is one sweet little traveling companion. --Wayne Garcia Pros:
