1 out of 5 stars I will sell this cheap to whoever wants it.......2004-08-14

I have been sorry ever since I bought this clock radio/cd player. It is very difficult to operate and the reception is mediocre. At times it seems to have a mind of its own. I am afraid to play the radio or cd player because if I do I never know if the alarm will work the next morning. I sure wish I had waited and purchased something a little more "user friendly".

3 out of 5 stars Easy to Use But Poor Reception.......2004-01-03

I live in Los Angeles and enjoy many fine radio stations. Unfortunately, the RC-CD500 has a sad piece of wire, hanging like a pig's tail in the back, serving as an antenna. The result? Poor reception, especially in rainy weather. Other than that, the controls are easy to use and the speakers are adequate, good enough for the price of the machine. However, if reception is important to you, please get a clock radio with a telescopic antenna.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Clock for a Lazy Awakener.......2004-01-03

I've always had a hard time waking up to other alarm clocks- so much so that I used to put them on the other side of the room just so I'd get out of bed to turn it off. Not the case with this one. I usually set the CD or radio as the 1st alarm, and the buzzer for the 2nd alarm and I get up immediately. I blast the volume the night before, so when it goes off I have an instant stream of LOUD music- which I LOVE! The radio presets are great- the only thing I would have changed in the design (because I'm so lazy) is to have a longer snooze increment (I think it's about 6 minutes). Otherwise, this is one of the greatest clocks I've ever owned- the other was my Dream Machine which majorly conked out after about 3 years.

1 out of 5 stars Broken after a few years.......2003-12-30

Every time the alarm goes off the clock resets itself (loses it's time and alarm settings) This started to happen slowly (you'd wake up late and the clock would be showing lines where the time would display) Eventually it started to happen more often and eventually I stopped using the clock.

I'm used to a clock that lasts until it breaks physically. In a cheaper model I'd be OK if it stopped working so soon but here I feel cheated.

Other than that I found it to be a useful clock. A bit hard to remeber how to change alarms from CD to radio, but generally well laid out.

4 out of 5 stars Panasonic RC-CD500 Great for Our Family.......2003-12-12

We've had the Panasonic RC-CD500 for a few years now and think it's fantastic. (I'm getting ready to purchase another one for my 10-year-old daughter.) The reception is extremely good, even in our basement. I like the battery backup so that I can move the radio to different rooms without having to reset anything. The alarms are easy to set with forward and backward capability. The CD player is very good also. Some reviews have complained about the display being weak, but we see nothing wrong with it. My husband usually turns it off during the night so the light won't disturb him at all. We'll soon have two of these in our family! My son may get his own in a couple years.
