Dual alarm with weekday and weekend settings
Designed with modern day lifestyles in mind, this clock radio has a dual alarm feature, allowing you to set different alarm times for weekdays and weekends or even vary the alarm settings for couples. The alarm settings can be tailored for the same alarm times for the entire week from Monday to Sunday. Or you can set the alarm for an early start on weekdays from Monday to Friday, and lazy lie-ins for Saturday and Sundays. Whichever you choose, there's no need to fiddle with setting different alarm times every single night.
Gentle wake up call with an increasing alarm volume
Nobody likes to be jarred out of sweet slumber, so the DC315 features a gradually increasing alarm volume.
Rich and clear sound experience
Bass Reflex speakers deliver a powerful, deeper bass
The Bass Reflex Speaker System delivers a deep bass experience from a compact loudspeaker box system. It features a bass pipe that is acoustically aligned to the woofer to optimize the low frequency roll-off of the system. The result is deeper controlled bass and lower distortion. The system works by resonating the air mass in the bass pipe to vibrate like a conventional woofer, extending the low end.

Pros:
-Impressive sound quality for the size of the unit.
-Good build quality.
-Radio alarm starts low in volume and raises gradually. This was important as I hate being startled awake.
-Works with 3G. However I would occasionally get the "this device does not work with your phone, etc..." But that seemed to be an anomaly.
-Brightness is adjustable.
Cons:
-Button placement is terrible. You have to feel your way when changing settings unless you want to get up and turn the unit around. Furthermore all the buttons feel the same and are bunched up together. I guess I've gotten the hang of it but it's still a hassle.
-The alarm has not gone off twice(admittedly via pilot error.) It turns out if you accidentally tune your radio to between channels (and you end up with static/noise/poor signal) and your alarm is set for *radio* it won't go off - AT ALL. One would think it would play the staticy radio signal or at least resort to a back up beep tone for the alarm.
-Plugging in the iphone can be tricky. The phone doesn't readily align with the dock. Granted this is the case with a lot of the docks I've played with at the store.
-The clock's font is really bad and not the easiest to read. You get used to it however.
-No battery back-up. I know the Sonys don't have that either. What's up with that?
I got this from Amazon through my credit card's points reward system, thus I didn't even try to return it. Disappointing and not recommended.
