## Description

SANGEAN RCR22 AM/FM Atomic Clock Radio with LCD Display

Review: I was looking for a high-quality alarm clock after about 12 years with an unimpressive Sony Dreammachine. This clock delivered on that front, and unlike most consumer electronics devices I've purchased in the past several years, it is clear that lots of thought was put into this device (and very little into the manual). PROS: There are tons of little nuances that the manual does not detail that I've discovered using the clock for a few weeks. For example the display can be dimmed with a dial on the bottom (which on my unit did not take effect until my alarm goes off the first time). The clock remains dimmed at your preset level, but goes to full brightness when the alarm goes off, making the clock easier to find. Combined with the pleasing blue light and the HWS (makes the alarm bell go from soft to loud) it's really nice to wake up to. Another thoughtful touch is that alarm indicators only light within 24 hours of your alarm. Either alarm can be set to go off on particular days, with any combination of Su-Sa set for each alarm (i.e. alarm1 can be set for Monday, Thursday and Sunday, no weekday/weekend restrictions like some others). The alarm indicators however only light up when your alarm will ring the next morning. Very nice. Other functions like the snooze, nap timers, etc. all work well. Like most alarms you need some time to figure out how it works, but after a few mornings most functions were intuitive. The radio functions well, and pulls in way more stations than the Dreammachine. The speaker is fine, that is to say neither exceptionally good or exceptionally poor. If I want the ultimate music experience, I have an expensive stereo for that. The clock is a true atomic time clock (not just a "preset" clock like many others). I don't know all the nuances of atomic cock synchronization, but the weather and location of the antenna seem to affect the two atomic clocks I have at home. Try moving the antenna towards the window if you have problems. CONS It is nicer than average plastic and construction, but still not going to win any design awards. I can't figure out why all alarm clock designs are frozen in 1992. The manual was clearly written by a bunch of engineers. It is no nonsense, and explains how to set/use everything, but does not mention any of the usability features I noted above. For example if it's Monday and you set an alarm for thursday, You might wonder why the alarm indicators do not all light up. No mention at all in the manual. I thought the clock was broken since the dimmer did not function until the first time an alarm went off. Again, no mention in the manual of what turned out to be a very nice feature, and one I almost returned the clock for! Another example is the unwieldly "Time Machine" antenna for the atomic clock. It is big and odd looking, but fits nicely to the back of the clock. Again, no mention in the manual save for a single line drawing. When I initially plugged the clock in, all kinds of crytic numbers flashed on the display while it synced the time, again, no mention of what was happening or why in the manual. The manual does tell you how to DO everything, but does not explain WHY certain things work the way they do, or explain the various nice features someone clearly took time to think through. Overal a great buy, especially for something you'll likely use every day for 5-15 years. I would like to see a better manual, autodimming of the display (it is BRIGHT when set to max), Sangean using a designer that is somewhat current, and perhaps a user manual rewrite, other than that, this clock works very well and will be on my nightstand for years to come. I agonized over what to put on my nightstand (everything from Bose to Timex) and am very happy with my choice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how do I fix the fm antenna**
A: If the antenna is broken and you do not wish to return the radio, you can splice the wire... if you have enough length to work with.  To do this,  use a sharp blade to cut around the insulation of each end of the wire (perpendicular to the wire) approx half an inch.  Be gentle or riser you'll cut the wire inside the insulation.   Once you have bare wire on each side, simply twist the two ends together.  You may add a drop of super glue to help hold the wire (I usually don't).  Wrap the splice with electric tape to prevent the wires from being exposed.  If the wire partially torn, you can cut out the bad section and splice it back together.  If it's ripped from inside the unit it gets a bit more complicated.   I hope this helps

**Q: how long doe the nap alarm could be set up?**
A: In can be set up in increments of five minutes, starting from “OFF” and then the sequence works its way up as: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 ... and so on until reaching ... 120 [minutes].TWO HOURS MAXIMUM ‘NAP’ setting.  An eternity for parents and workings class stiffs having to punch in at the office.

I have the SANGEAN RCR-22 and I would NEVER trade this radio in for another, unless of course, it were a NEW SANGEAN RCR-22.

Seriously peeps, this radio/alarm clock is the Business!

Get one ... you will not be disappointed ... and if you are, I’ll gladly provide a postage paid shipping label to send this Lil’ bad boy to papa.

Enough ghetto, in all seriousness, but it, you cannot go wrong, you will be (pleasantly) surprised, and you’ll ask yourself aloud (although it shouldn’t be within earshot of your spouse:

“SANGEAN RCR-22 ... where have you been my entire life.”

Disclaimer: I do own one.  It was not purchased through Amazon. I’ve managed to spill sticky drinks atop the radio.  Radio works flawlessly, albeit with a couple of sticky button on top of the radio.  The only reason to be in the market for one of these is to experience the crossroads of elegantly designed radio, utilitarian functions and a radio alarm clock you can subject to abuse (although I do not recommend this).  Buy it.  You will not be disappointed.

But to answer OP: the NAP setting can be in increments of five minutes up to a maximum of one hundred twenty (120) minutes, which for our mathematically challenged friends works out to a full TWO HOURS, and NOT the one hour another poster commented.  Don’t know which SANGEAN model radio he owns ... or IF he even owns one, but whatever he’s got does not sound like the SANGEAN RCR-22.

Other disclosure: I neither work for, nor own stock in SANGEAN, Amazon, any of its components manufacturers, or anybody else having to do anything with designing this alarm clock radio, and I am most definitely NOT being compensated/paid or provided with anything of value in order to discuss my satisfaction with MY particular SANGEAN RCR-22.

I simply dig the product.

**Q: Is there a way to change the snooze duration from 5 minutes to 10 minutes on the clock.**
A: (1) Press "Menu"(2) Cycle through options (Tuning + or -) to "SNOOZE." It will display the current setting (i.e., "SNOOZE 5")(3) Press "Select." The "5" or whatever the current setting is should start to blink.(4) Use the Tuning +/- buttons to set your desired snooze length. Options are 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes.(5) Press "Select" to confirm your choice, then press "Menu" to return to standard operation.

**Q: If there is a power outage at the time the alarm is set for, will the alarm still go off?**
A: No.  The RCR-22 doesn't have a built in battery backup.  If power is lost the radio and alarm will not work.  It does have a "super capacitor" that holds the time settings for one hour should you lose power.

Wie versprochen wurde das Lieferdatum exakt eingehalten und es war auch alles sehr gut verpackt . Die Verpackung und der Versand waren natürlich kostenlos. Jetzt zum Gerät: Da war ich am Anfang etwas misstrauisch, aber ich habe beim Lieferanten angerufen und er sagte mir das ist das neuere Gerät des RCR-22 . Ich habe dann 2Stück bestellt ,ein Gerät für meine Frau und ein Gerät für mich. Ich muss sagen alles Top mit den zwei Geräten. Man kann 7 Sender einstellen 2 verschiedene Weckmethoden einstellen, also mit Weck-Ton oder mit Radio-Ton. Der Sound ist auch ganz schön ordentlich für dieses kleine Gerät. Und die Uhr wird über das Radio funkgenau eingestellt Sommerzeit und Winterzeit. Also alles in allem ein Top Gerät kann man nur weiter empfehlen.
