 Good features for the price! Aug 14, 2007
By Lisa Williams
"Glitchy"
I just bought this alarm, so I will be updating on it's functionality soon, but here are my initial thoughts:
FEATURES - This alarm has a decent amount of features for the price. One of the complaints I read in other reviews is that you cannot choose the CD track on the alarm function, it would just wake to the first track of the CD. This alarm allows you to set the track, wake to the radio, or to a buzzer. It also has two wake settings, adjustable "snooze/nap" time and gradual wake alarm (starts soft and increases over 30 seconds). It also has "sleep" mode which allows you to listen to the radio or CD with an automatic off so that you can still wake to the alarm in the morning. It has a back-up battery which allows it to run off the battery in the event of a power failure. The display has a bright (which is blue and clear enough to read from a distance) and dim (which is nice and muted and doesn't light the whole room). It was more compact in size than the Sony model that had similar features (and a bit cheaper too).
**Now one of the main complaints on this model is sound. I think people have an unrealistic idea of what a $25 cd alarm sound should sound like. For a cheap cd alarm radio, the sound is actually pretty good. The radio reception is good, and yes you can hear the CD spinning especially during track change, but let's face it... You are not spending the $100+ that great sound systems like BOSE cost. If you are looking for exceptional sound quality you are going to need to fork out the extra money to buy a higher end model. Even RCA makes a higher end model that I'm sure has improved quality of sound.**
My only wish on this alarm is that it have the smart-set technology which automatically sets your alarm after it has been unplugged or loses power. Other than that, this is a great alarm for the money!

 noisy CD mechanism and no time display during snooze Dec 30, 2006
By David Agans
"Dave"
Okay, one would think that the CD spinning up would not be louder than the music, but it is loud enough to wake me before the music comes on. The unit has a cylinder in the CD cover which sits on the CD to hold it down, and this rotates in a plastic housing, making an amazingly loud plastic on plastic scraping sound. But wait, it gets worse! The CD continues to spin during the snooze period, so you don't hear music, just scraping plastic. And when you look at the display to see how much more snooze (/being annoyed) time you have left, the display is showing the track number, not the time. The thing is a CLOCK radio, it should ALWAYS show the time, especially when you're debating whether to get up now or wait another minute.
I received this for Christmas, I'm going to exchange it.
Other notes: The dim setting of the display is still way too bright. You can wake up to any track of the CD, but it would be nice if the thing could pick one at random each morning.
What I'd really love is a clock with a BUILT-IN mp3 player -- no moving parts except the switches...

 This is what a clock radio/cd player should be!!! Nov 26, 2007
By Dana
Two years ago my wife got me one of these for my birthday and I was skeptical. I wanted a clock radio that would play cd's and had even purchased and returned a Sony Dream Machine (Sony you should be ashamed of yourself...it didn't even have a battery backup). After having looked around for quite awhile I sort of gave up and decided to just keep my old radio/tape player alarm even though it didn't have a cd player. I was looking for something with a small enough footprint to fit on my nightstand, something that was easy to use and sounded good. It didn't take me too long to realize my wife succeeded where I had failed. She was pretty happy with her purchase, because after hearing from me about all the things I was looking for, she knew this was going to be a winner. To put it briefly the RCA RP5600 has everything a radio/cd alarm clock should and nothing it shouldn't. If you've spent anytime at all looking around at clock radios with or without cd players, you'll especially appreciate the RP5600. All the switches for setting the clock, setting the alarms, turning the radio on/off, turning the cd on/off, changing cd tracks...etc. are all simple to use, totally intuitive and LARGE. It never ceases to amaze me when well known manufacturers of electronic equipment continue to use those tiny, tiny, minuscule one-switch-does-all control buttons with the indistinguishable detents. The RP5600 has ONE SWITCH FOR EACH FUNCTION...which means no more fumbling in the dark while you're half awake trying to figure out if your alarm is set or not or if you're going to wake to your favorite cd or the alarm or if its even going to go off. Also, one glance at the display will clearly tell you what all your settings are. The sound is much better than I expected and it plays commercially prerecorded as well as recorded cd's. It wouldn't have crossed my mind to write this review, but recently my college bound daughter realized she needed an alarm clock as she headed out the door. You can probably guess who needed to get a duplicate.

RCA Clock Radio CD Player Jan 30, 2007
By R. Parsons
"rick"
I've only owned it for a few days, but it's working out really nice on my desk at work. It's very compact, takes up very little space, but has a really nice sound from the radio and cd player. Nothing fancy, no bass boost or equalizer etc, but those features aren't really needed, after all this is not a high end product. However, I'm pleasantly surprised and very pleased with the quality of sound. Not to mention the value, I got mine at WalMart for $[...], usually things cost less at Amazon.com but not this time. Shop around and you can probably find a better buy than the current listing of $[...] here at Amazon.com on [...]. If my current Sony that I have in the bedroom ever goes out, it will be replaced by this RCA Clock Radio CD Player, it's such a value with great sound and takes up very little space. Great value.

She Loves It...BUT... Oct 08, 2009
By PC Extras
Well I searched high and low for a CD Clock Radio for my wifes
birthday. After looking everywhere, and all over Amazon, this was
the unit I decided on. It really is a great clock radio and she
loves it.
As far as the squeaky/scratch noise others here have mentioned
in their reviews, heres the thing, it only make that horrible noise if
you turn on the CD player WITHOUT a disk in it. Once a disc is
put in it is very quiet. As quiet as any other CD player.
The display is large, bright, and a really cool shade of blue. It also
has a dim setting for the display if it is too bright for you. The dual
alarm setting is really great especially for couples who get up at
different times.
The unit feels nice and solid. It does not feel like cheap junk. This
is definitely a PLUS. When I bought this I was under the impression
that the FM tuner was digital. It IS NOT! It is a little dial on the side,
toward the back.
This brings me to the only drawback to this machine. THE QUALITY
OF THE FM TUNER IS HORRIBLE! I can NOT get ANY stations in
clearly on the radio at all. There is a horrible buzz over all the stations.
I don't know what they were thinking when they made the radio part
of the clock radio. Luckily for me, my wife did not want this for the
radio part of it. She wanted it for the CD part and the alarm part.
All in all this is a GREAT CD clock radio and I recommend it to anyone
who is looking for a CD Clock Radio. Just remember that the radio in
it is useless.
