## Overview

The Timex T617S Nature Sounds Auto Set CD Clock Radio is a versatile alarm clock that features a 2-alarm system, smart auto-set functionality, and an auxiliary input for connecting various audio devices.

## Description

Product Description          Timex Stereo CD Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Smart Knob Digital Tuning and Nature Sounds             .com          Equally suited to entertainment and utility, the Timex T617S is perfect for any bedroom or kitchen, offering accurate auto-set timekeeping, CD and radio playback, stereo speakers, onboard nature sounds, and an external audio input. The unit's stately silver finish and translucent CD door add visual touches of class, and its versatile CD playback modes include repeat and random play. Once plugged in, the clock will set itself, drawing on its factory-installed 100-year calendar (year/month/day, 2000 to 2099). The clock will even self-adjust for Daylight Savings time and leap years. It features a programmable sleep mode with independent sleep volume, too (select 15, 30, 60, or 90 minutes), so you can drift to sleep or wake to your choice of a favorite radio station, a favorite CD track, or any of the unit's 4 nature sounds: ocean surf, rushing brook, forest spring, and wind chimes. The T617S's 2 alarms each function independently, so both can be set for either the same or different wake signals. For radio listening, you'll enjoy drift-free digital PLL (phase-locked-loop) tuning with 12 preset stations for 1-touch tuning convenience for your favorites (6 FM, 6 AM). Use the clock's handy Smart Knob to quickly and easily adjust all settings and major functions. Ideal for a portable MP3 player or cassette player, the T617S's auxiliary audio input broadens your listening options to include any source you deem appropriate. Hookup with portable audio devices is a snap using the supplied stereo minijack-to-minijack audio cable. And, just to make sure you never miss an important appointment (if only some quality time with your shower or morning coffee), the clock also comes with Timex's Sure Alarm battery backup. Just install 3 AAA batteries (not included) to activate this feature. In the event of a power failure--or if you disconnect the AC power cord to move the clock--Sure Alarm will maintain your clock and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarms will sound at the appointed time (while operating on battery power, the alarms will sound only as buzzer).What's in the Box Clock, FM wire antenna, a stereo analog audio interconnect (minijack to minijack), and a user's manual with warranty information.

                 The Timex Story          Timex Group B.V. is one of the best-known American watch companies. Timex's U.S. headquarters are located in Middlebury Connecticut and it has substantial operations in China, the Philippines and India and full scale sales companies in Canada, the UK, France and Mexico.The company began in 1854 as Waterbury Clock in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, known during the nineteenth century as the "Switzerland of America." Sister company Waterbury Watch manufactured the first inexpensive mechanical pocket watch in 1880. During World War I, Waterbury began making wristwatches, which had only just become popular, and in 1933 it made history by creating the first Mickey Mouse clock under license from Walt Disney, with Mickey's hands pointing the time.During World War II, Waterbury renamed itself U.S. Time Company. In 1950 the company introduced a wristwatch called the Timex. Over the next three decades, Timex was sold through a series of advertisements which emphasized its durability by putting the watch through "torture tests," such as falling over the Grand Coulee Dam or being strapped to the propeller of an outboard motor, with the slogan "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." With the help of former Olympic broadcaster, spokesman John Cameron Swayze, sales took off. The company later became Timex Corporation, then Timex Group and, to date, has sold over one billion watches.The company has remained very competitive and the Timex brand continues its dominance through present day. Its primary market remains the United States and Canada, although the Timex brand is sold worldwide due to its ability to capitalize on its strong brand image and reputation for quality.One of the most successful and important features available on many Timex watches is the Indiglo backlight system. Indiglo is a brand name of Indiglo Corporation, solely owned by Timex for licensing purposes. Timex electroluminescent lamps, branded Indiglo, were introduced in 1992 in the Ironman watch line. They were an immediate success. The Indiglo lamp uniformly lights the surface of the Timex’s watch dials in a manner that makes the dial read very easily in many different light settings. In some newer watches the Indiglo backlight only lights up the numbers, rather than the entire LCD display, which is achieved by means of a specialized film that inverts the LCD transmissivity.Today, Timex Group products are manufactured in the Far East and in Switzerland often based on technology that continues to be developed in the United States and in Germany. With a large and varied line of watches, Timex has the style for everyone. From the locker room to the board room, there is a great Timex style time-piece for you.           See more

    Does what it's supposed to do with a bit more light than necessary
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2007*

I bought this clock fairly recently and am satisfied with it.  It has a very small footprint for a clock with a cd-player, which is great for keeping space for a glass of water and a book on one's nightstand.  Also, the alarm beeps are not horribly grating but definitely get the job done.  The nap-timer is great, allowing me to take quick naps without changing the alarm, as I often did before.  I'm also happy that it has the capability to repeat a disc or just one track, which is great if you've a certain piece of music to which you like to listen as you fall asleep but don't want to hear other tracks on your cd.  These are the main reasons that I bought this product, just so that you know the perspective from which I'm rating it.The controls are pretty straight-forward and shouldn't take terribly much time to get used to.  Some buttons may be harder to find in the dark than others, though.  Also, the alarm off and the alarm reset buttons are the same shape and right next to each other, making it very easy to turn the alarm completely off rather than just reseting it for the next day.  This can be a problem if you want to set the alarms to go off one after another, like a manually set snooze, though I suspect that given time one will figure out where the buttons are by touch.The sound is decent for it's size.  Out of the box it sounds kind of distant and the bass end sounds strange, but after playing it a while the speakers break in and it sounds much better.  There aren't any adjustments for he sound along the lines of a graphic equalizer or even a bass boost button, but, although it might be nice, I personally don't expect that out of a clock-radio.The nature sounds are mostly rather annoying (I'm from the coast with lots of seagulls and I know for a fact that their squawking isn't that overpowering), though the fourth one, which is a sort of wind-chime thing, is kind of relaxing, though not quite natural.The radio doesn't get particularly good reception.  It helps a lot if you unroll the antenna and it helped me even more when I tied it to the metal headboard of my bed.  If you are on the edge of the area of decent reception for a particular station then you will probably not want to listen to that station on this radio.  In a metro area with decent signals, though, I doubt that you'll find it to be particularly frustrating.As many have mentioned, this can be a very bright device.  The clockface itself isn't bad; it's a cool blue color and on it's dimmest setting is not particularly obtrusive.  The problem is with the extremely bright blue LED that lights up the disc window when you play a cd.  I suppose that it's supposed to make it so that you can find the buttons easier, but it is effectively a bright nightlight that can be very disturbing.  I ended up taking the back panel off of the door to reveal the circuit board underneath and just pulling out the offending LED.  You might not want to do this if you are worried about negating the warranty, but it worked for me.Overall I'd say that this is a good product but it seems to be a bit overpriced.  At $70 I'd expect better sound and better radio reception, at least.  The shortcomings weren't worth returning the item, but I'd likely not make this purchase again.  I gave it the 4 stars for the product itself, though I'd probably reduce it by at least a star for the value for the money.

    CD player DOA, but everything else works well
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2010*

I just received this unit yesterday, so this is my initial review of the product.  I purchased it to replace a working, but obsolete alarm clock radio with cassette player (I'll let you all just guess at how long I've had that).  I wanted a similar alarm clock radio, but with a CD player.  My overall assessment of this unit is that it is very nice and would meet all of my basic criteria...if the CD player had worked.  Tech support was quit helpful, but the unit needs to be replaced.My evaluation criteria:*Clock: easy to set/change, auto daylight savings*Alarm: dual set, wake to alarm/radio/CD/etc.*Battery back-up that keeps alarm function without power*Radio: good sound quality, digital tuner, preset buttons, can pick up 6 local stations (my old radio picks up 3/6 stations, while my car picks up all six in the driveway)*CD player: good sound quality, track skip*Appearance: space-saving/vertical, classic color(s)*Bonuses: multiple CD, MP3 line-in, etc.*CostReview of Timex T617:The clock feature is quite nice on this unit.  It comes auto set to Eastern Standard Time, and you can easily switch to another North American time zone.  I did find it to be a few minutes off my cell phone's time (auto set to network), but it was pretty easy to adjust the time.  You could easily set this clock manually to be a few minutes fast if you wanted to make sure you're on time to appointments.This unit comes with two alarms that you can independently set to play an alarm, the radio, a CD, or one of four nature sounds.  My only issue with the alarms is that you can only adjust by the minute.  Even my old clock radio allowed me to adjust the hour and minutes separately.  But, the "smart" dial and scan buttons make adjusting go fairly quickly.  I would have liked to see an AM indicator on the display, instead of only a PM indicator.  I do like that there is a battery back-up on the clock, so it will remember your alarm settings even if there is a power outage.The sound quality on the radio is pretty good.  It picks up 4 out of the 6 local stations with great quality.  The other two stations have a lot of static, but come through.  The scan feature on the digital tuner is a bit flaky.  It will skip over a station, and then pick it up fine when I go back.  I do like that there are six preset buttons that are easy to set, so you won't have to mess with the scan and tuner after the initial set-up.The vertical CD player is a nice idea for conserving space.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work on the unit I was sent.  The person I spoke with at Timex tech support was very competent and helpful.  In a few minutes, she determined that it could not be easily repaired and would need to be returned or sent in for repairs/replacement.  She also said that this model has not been produced for several years now, so my unit has likely been sitting on a shelf somewhere for awhile and that is something to keep in mind if you are looking at buying one of these.  I also wasn't fond of there being no stop feature for the CD.  You pause it, open the player, and have to stop of spinning CD with your fingertips.I really like the look of this unit.  It is vertical, so saves space.  But, it doesn't seem cheap or flimsy.  The black/silver color scheme is classic.  The display is also quite big and the messages are very readable.  As a bonus, this model has a line-in for an MP3 player, so you aren't limited to what you have on CD and what is playing on the radio.  Cost-wise, $50 was a bit more than I wanted to spend on a clock radio, but was less than most of the other well-reviewed models I saw.  Overall, if the CD player had worked, it would have been worth the money.  As is, it is too expensive for a simple clock radio.  I'll be returning it for a replacement and will update my review upon receiving the replacement unit.
