A:

Yes. Just the same as setting radio stations in a car. Find the station you like, then hold down the preset number until the station is accepted. Pretty simple.

A:

The iLive unit does allow you to preset your favorite radio stations. However, there is only one button to scroll between stations which can be a pain. For example; if one of your preset stations is #1 and you want to scroll to the next station but it is preset #16 you must press the same button until you reach your desired station preset number. What I have done is to assign the same stations multiple preset numbers to save time and to prevent burning out the one button to scroll. Since there are 20 possible preset stations I just repeated my five favorites four times.

Backlight Dimmer

Q:

I know this clock radio has dimmer control but can you make the display very dim? I bought a clock radio and had to return it because the low backlight setting was still very bright.

Thanks!

A:

It has three settings. One very bright, one medium and one with no extra light. You can cycle between the three levels by pushing the snooze button. I'll start each night with the dark setting and if I wake up, tap the snooze to illuminate the time and cycle back to dark.

A:

It has 3 settings. The third is "off". I use this sometimes, but then you can't see the time.

I use the low setting and keep a cloth over it!

It is fine in the daytime, but it is too bright for me at night also. I think it is because of the blue background.

Hi LindyLou, Find a place and an orientation that provides good reception and adjust the direction of the AM loop antenna for best AM broadcast sound. Do not place the AM loop antenna near the unit or other AV equipment, as noise may result. - Jerome

A:

I bought this for that very reason but only to wake up by so it's not used heavily. In most instances the clock is located near a window. I had an old antenna wire from another device that I just connected to the included antenna wire and it hangs on the blinds behind curtains so it's discrete and not very visible and improves the signal greatly. It seems some times of the year the signal is worse than others but mostly it's okay.

It came with an external antenna that you have to connect at the back. That should fix the problem with reception.

A:

Like you, AM reception is important to me. It does have some static but not as finicky as my previous clock which sometimes getting AM reception was impossible. I had to add a wire to the antenna and drape it over the window blind or something higher to get better reception. You could probably try that with this clock.

I DO agree they don't make them like they used to. As stated in my review hard to find a nice stereo model that doesn't take a lot of table top space along with having good sound and AM radio. Many models do not offer AM anymore so I did think I had to settle somewhat with this model.

I attached a wire that has an RCA plug on one end. Probably any flexible wire would serve the purpose. It just needs to connect to extend your attached antenna. Hope this helps! Good luck with your reception!

We do not often listen to AM shows any more (except on occasion when we are in the car). We listen to the TV in the evening and FM in the late evening and morning. Unfortunately, therefore, we cannot help you.

If you already set your radio stations on the preset all you have to do is hold down the alarm button and keep hitting it until you reach presets and you can set it that way. You have to have your presets set first.
