It might be hard to imagine getting excited about a clock radio, but the Sony ICF-CD863V has so many cool features that it just can't be helped. The ICF-CD863V has a four-band tuner, so sleepers can wake to AM, FM, Weather band, or even a local TV station. Waking up is very pleasant, with the volume gradually increasing from silence to a preset level. The snooze is adjustable with the help of the Snoozinator, which adds 10-minute increases with each tap of the snooze button.

Another cool feature that is just a step better than other clocks is a triple alarm, instead of the usual single or double. Each alarm can use the CD, radio, or a buzzer as its wakeup tone. There is also a nap alarm that can be set to sound in any of six intervals, all without changing the regular alarm settings. This is a nice sounding system, with an adjustable bass boost and 3-D sound. When it's time for a new clock, the features of the Sony ICF-CD863V should put it at the top of anyone's list.
