Hi;
Sorry to be out of the loop but is this a am/fm broadcast receiver, scanner
or both?  Is there any speech for the clock at least?  I purchased one of
the sony "dream machines" because the clock and time are accessible.  The
clock and c d player are great. The a m receive isn't bad but the f m
receive here is terrible.  I love the fact that I can set the clock but the
f m receive is a pain.  Also, if anyone else owns one of these, I haven't
found a sleep timer and I can't believe there isn't one.

I'm posting this to the list in case anyone else ever need this.  BTW, I =

From top to bottom, left to right:

1st row: HOLD slider (to block keys), SLEEP button, POWER button

2nd to 5th row: keypad in the order 1 - 2 - 3, 4 - 5 - 6, 7 - 8 - 9 and
finally DIRECT - 0 - EXE. There's a small blip on the case next to the =
5.

Rows 1 through 5 are right next to the display.

6th row: Below 0 and EXE, you find the PAGE and SCAN buttons for memory
operation in a rather peculiarly shaped area.

7th row: A bit lower and to the left of the memory buttons you'll find =
the
FM/AM button in a slightly larger opening.

8th row: Right next to the speaker grille you can find the two longish
rectangular STANDBY MEMORY A and B buttons.

9th row: Finally, near the bottom corner of the front panel there are =
three
little round buttons, namely ENTER (with a little hole in the center), =
ERASE
and AM BAND. The lower right corner is reserved for the tuning buttons =
in a
circle segment arrangement, two outer ones (usually for larger tuning =
steps)
and two inner ones (for smaller steps), the latter of which you can't =
press
both at the same time.=20

All in all, I would say Sony's engineers have done a pretty good job in
making the set suited for blind people. Only clock operation does not =
seem
very friendly in this regard (not really a new problem actually).

For the sake of completeness, the controls at the sides are listed top =
to
bottom in the manual. And if you should be wondering what the only =
button on
the left side of the front is good for, that's the LIGHT button for =
display
lighting...
