Sangean RCR-2 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio (Silver) Reviews
| 112 of 117 people found the following review helpful  Far from perfect, By ursadog (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sangean RCR-2 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio (Silver) (Electronics) I spent a lot of time trying to find the perfect alarm clock for my bedroom and, as you can tell, I am still looking. The Sangean RCR-2 certainly has some attractive features like the atomic clock, which took a few hours to set itself, and the nice styling but it fails in so many areas as an alarm clock. First, and most importantly, the display is unreadable. It is very busy with lots of symbols and numbers but using very thin LCD numerals for the time and the off axis viewing angle is very small; you must basically face it head on. Worst of all, however, is the blindingly bright orange backlight with makes is impossible for night adjusted eyes to read the display if you want to check the time in the middle of the night. It is so bright as to cast shadows throughout the room. I keep it across the room but I can't imagine trying to sleep with this minor sun positioned on the nightstand. Sure, you can turn off the backlight but then the clock is invisible at night. Maybe LEDs are not...

Some of the negatives given in reviews above have an element of truth, but are overblown, in my view. Compared to the CCRadio (the several year old one, I don't have the more recent CCRadio Plus): * The RCR-2 is noticeably smaller. It is somewhat narrower, and half the height. It is twice as deep. It feels solid, heavy, and polished. * The extra buttons make it quite a bit easier to use. Sangean is still no Apple or Timex when it comes to making intuitive interfaces, so the interface will still confuse some. And while Sangean has improved on their translation of the instruction booklet, it still leaves much unsaid. But the function of each button is clearer and simpler, with less strange... Read more 42 of 45 people found the following review helpful Excellent design, fails on the basics, By A Customer Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sangean RCR-2 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio (Silver) (Electronics) My first impression was one of delight, because the RCR-2's controls, programming flexibility, packaging, and sound quality are very well done. But I was ultimately disappointed and had to return the unit because Sangean did not follow through in two important areas: the display and power back-up.The LCD display is only viewable from a limited angle. We placed the unit on a low headboard about 6" above the pillows, and the digits became invisible. The left-to-right viewing angle is also very limited. The RCR-2 is easily viewable only if you place it on a nightstand lower than your pillow and view it straight ahead within arm's reach. The LCD backlighting is weak and uneven. Instead of a uniform electro-luminescent light source (e.g. Indiglo), there is a single bulb on one side. Bright on one side and dim on the other, it looks a lot like a cheap digital watch from many years ago. Not a good first impression in a guest bedroom. The second problem is the limited...
