 Very Poor Product Description by AMAZON May 18, 2007
41 out of 41 found this review helpful
Once you get past the fact that Amazon has really misrepresented this item, I can say that it really is a what I needed. Yes, as mentioned by another reviewer, there is NO CD player funtion at all. It would have been fantastic if Philips had designed it with one in mind, but I think it would have killed it's compact size which is why I bought it. There are only 5 presets (not 20 as per Amazon's description and the unit only plays FM, no AM). This is mentioned in the "Technical Details" of the description page, if you click on it. The detail that there is no CD funtion is there, too - very contradictory.
I love the fact that it's small (I can move it from room to room). There are three wake-up modes (FM radio, gentle wake buzzer, and iPod dock). But, the best item would have to be the wOOx technology for powerful bass, on the back of the unit. That sold me on this "Play and Charge" unit, and I love that feature the most. The sound is excellent for the price. You can still connect a portable CD player, VCR or even an iPod Shuffle, through the AUX port and cord supplied. So, it's not a one trick pony.
The clock function is good, with 3 brightness settings (Bright, Low and OFF), and both Sleep and Snooze funtions on the alarm. I found it simple to set the clock and alarm(s). No battery back-up is a negative. Even a simple 9V would be enough to keep presets and radio function if the power went out.
Overall: I like it, I really do.
Great for the office too! May 10, 2007

I use this in my office to play my ipod and listen to music at low audio levels. I have played it at home and it sounds great at louder levels also. The design is great! Simple and stylish. It has just the right features I've been looking for.
I had to really look for the cons... it doesn't have a battery backup but if the power outage is less than 10 mins, the clock will be ok. The presets remained even though i had it unplugged for a couple of hours. I think the remote is a little too small and some of the buttons are too close together but other than those two unimportant things, this is a great buy!
Excellent sound quality and feature set for the money July 12, 2007

If you're looking for an inexpensive way to get solid sound from a small device AND charge your iPod, this unit is for you. I have tried (and returned) several sub-$100 players like the mediocre iHome with its tinny sound and inconveniently wide body. This Philips unit offers rich bass (as long as you don't crank the volume way up) and a decent feature set.
While it's not going to replace your surround-sound home stereo system, or even your boombox; it IS an excellent clock radio. It keeps time well. The remote advances to the next track on the iPod (or skips back), fast forwards or rewinds, and adjusts the volume.
The display can be set to bright, dim or off if you prefer to sleep in complete darkness. The alarm stores two different wake times with three alarm options: radio, buzzer or iPod. It gets good radio reception. It has five preset FM stations. The built-in battery will save your settings for ten minutes if you change rooms. It's has a small footprint. It charges your iPod. It's looks reasonably stylish. It's a good buy.
 Caution! Unit could damage your hearing. June 2, 2007

I bought the unit to replace an old alarm clock. Sure enough, I should have read the reviews a little bit more careful. While the AJ300D has two alarm settings and a pretty decent sound quality for such a small device, the alarm volume cannot be adjusted and is always maximum, which is REALLY LOUD even when listening to a quiet classical piece. One of the advertised features of the unit is supposedly "Gentle Wake". More like "gentle wake" of the dead. This is clearly a design mistake on Philips' part. This unit goes back to Amazon first thing in the morning. If you are not planning on using the alarm function, this is a decent iPod speaker system.
Okay, with some flaws August 15, 2007

It's pretty good for what it is -- a very compact radio/iPod player with an alarm function. The other reviewer is right that there's no way to adjust the music volume on the alarm -- it comes on gradually, but always goes to full volume. And it's loud! You can adjust it then, but who wants to lean over the second you wake up and fiddle with the buttons? That is the item's biggest problem in my view. The sound quality is also just so-so, but what do you expect from a 2-inch speaker, right? Another feature that is common on other clock radios, but missing here, is a nap alarm function. That would have been a good addition. I decided to keep it and live with the flaws, but it was a close call.
