Product Review
Heard any good TV shows lately? With the Aiwa FR-A308, you might not have to miss your favorite show even if you're away from the TV. The FR-A308 is the rare clock radio that complements an AM/FM tuner with TV and weather bands.
It's not like listening to cable TV, however; you can receive only over-the-air signals from channels 2 through 13 in your area. So if you live in a big city, you might receive as many as seven channels. In rural areas, with fewer channels, you might be able to tune in two or three. But either way, you can probably fall asleep to The Tonight Show or wake up to Today.
The FR-A308 offers a modern take on the classic cathedral radio (Aiwa calls it a bullet design), with a green LED display set against a glistening black contour. The dual alarms can be set to either a beep tone or any of the four analog bands (AM, FM, TV, or weather).
Although the FR-308 accepts a battery backup--a 9-volt battery is required--it doesn't work like most backups. Most clock radios with battery backup typically shut down when power is lost but preserve the correct time when power is restored. The FR-308 backs up the clock and alarm for about 10 minutes, letting you unplug and move the unit without interruption.
This clock radio can seem confusing to tune at first because the lower end of the TV band is combined with the FM radio. Just remember that you have to adjust a switch on the side of the radio to give you one of three settings: the AM band, FM with TV channels 2 through 6, and weather with TV channels 7 through 13. Once you've mastered it, you'll shift quickly between radio, weather, and TV. The FR-A308's versatile four-band option can be matched by few clock radios.
Pros:
- Four bands: AM/FM/TV/Weather
- Easy access to all controls
Cons:
- Confusing tuning dial
- Reception on TV and weather bands not as reliable as on AM and FM
Product Description
Whether you like to start your day being informed on the weather, music, news, or views, choose the Aiwa FR-A308 clock radio and wake up the way you want. AM and FM bands tune in your favorite radio stations, while the TV/weather band brings you up to date on the new day fast. There is a sleep-timer to send you off to dreamland, a snooze button for serial wakers and a buzzer for sleepyheads. Battery back up keeps you from sleeping through a power outage, and the green LED display is gentle on tired eyes.
