On some alarm clock radio's the fast forward & rewind time settings are sort of a pain in the rear to get just perfect. How are the controls on this?

You set the hours and minutes separately, they adjust at a reasonable enough speed that its easy to set the time right, the first time. You set the AM/PM separately as well, you don't cycle through the hours as you do on some clocks.

I am sorry, I cannot help you. I bought it as a Christmas gift and then returned it.

I wish I could help you..........I have mine set for just weekdays and different times for weekends. It's not very intuitive and when I've had to make changes it takes too long a time to re-learn what to do. But it works really well once it's set, and the override button is great. I encourage you to just review the tiny print instructions and play with the thing, eventually you'll get the settings you want. I've learned these digital devices with so many bells and whistles are annoying but I also figure it's part of keeping my head in current technology and I don't want to be too behind the tech curve. You wanted technical advice, not lifestyle....my apologies and good luck!

Hold the clock button down and use the preset buttons to set the time. Turn the key and make sure the radio isn't trying to play music. Where it just shows the clock. Hard to explain over text

Limited to set frequencies. You move the dial to what you want...but sweep is not available. They are preset.

Yes. Mine is incredibly finicky. The FM is so sensitive that it takes me a few min to tune stations. The AM is rock solid. I do think it needs to be fixed though, it shouldn't be that hard to tune in a station like the one I'm trying to get. I have a Sangean digital radio and it gets everything just fine.

There are two different alarm settings, but you have to manually set one or the other. The functionality is there but not what I would call automatic. Regardless, we are happy with the clock after having it a couple years.

Download D-Saplli from App Store, it works as an clock ( 7 style )with some customization: sound EQ,alarm,music player timer, sleep timer, volume, fast forward,brightness,etc. It's a simple application,easy to use and good looking, just give a try, nothing to lose

It takes a couple of tries to get the clock display to flash. As soon as it flashes press the arrow buttons for the time. We had a power surge the other day and I had to reset mine.

Apparently from the other answers it looses correct time after a while (4 hours?), but keeps the settings (probably a small flash mem chip on board).My feeling is that it would just be one more clock to reset after a power outtage....Coffee Maker, Microwave, Oven, Bedside Alarm Clocks,Clock Radios, Etc.So it does not concern me.All I have to do is remember! :-)

Keep pressing the Mode button ( one long press once ) until minutes blinks, change minute with ADJ button (it moves minute forward one at a time or one long press to go fast ) when minutes sets then press Mode once, now the hours keeps blinking. Change the hours in forward by pressing ADJ button. When hrs sets, press the Mode button once to finish it. I hope this explains all. Good Luck.

The only way I can display the clock time is to turn the little power switch to off. Somebody else said there was some type of screen saver that reverts back to the clock when listening to the radio. I haven't discovered how to do this yet. It's frustrating not seeing the Clock display while listening to the various stations. Otherwise I love this radio. I think a techie designed the clock rather then talking to regular users.

hold the &lt;&lt; or &gt;&gt; down for a bit and it rewinds/fast forwards, you release when you are to the point you want to be at. a quick tap will go back and forward by track. hope this helps!

You can set the sweep rate and go either forward or reverse. No other device does this. There are NO radios you can convert to do what this devise does. It's a lie that any am/fm radio can be converted to do what this does.

There are controls for Play/Pause, Skip, Previous, Repeat, Fast Forward, Fast Rewind and Shuffle.

I found all the settings the same way. I press and hold the Alarm A or B button, first I can set the time, pressing it again moves to where I can pick the Ipod or CD, the next features after pressing the button asks about volume and if there was a specific track I wanted to set it to. I wake to my Ipod at volume 8.

Yep. I use that feature every night. Once you set the sleep timer though, don't touch other buttons. If you set it and then mess with volume or whatever, the alarm might go off because the other buttons seem to change the sleep timer over to an alarm instead. Just hit play and then press the alarm button twice and it will be a 30 min sleep timer. Not truly sure if it's random but it does play different songs every night. It just might be in order, not random.

First, point the arrow on the CENTER dial to the current time of day, then, starting W/ all the buttons on the outer ring in the "up" position, push DOWN on the buttons that correspond W/ the time(s) you want your device to operate. While this is possibly a bit more complicated than, say, in intermatic timer-W/ on/off clips, it saves the expense of buying the clips- @ ridiculous prices.
