Reviews for Philips DC390 Dual Dock Clock Radio with Remote

I have three clock radios for over a year from Philips and I must say they performs as advertised. One of the best clock radios I have owned over the past twenty years.

PROS
- Great sound
- Very clean professional appearance
- Easy to program
- Remote control
- Battery back up

CONS
- No USB power on the unit for non Apple products

If you want a great looking clock radio that performs this is the one!

I had heard bad reports of Philips's reliability--sadly, this proved them right. I barely had this a year. It quit playing music from my iPhone, none of the buttons on the unit would work if anything was docked to it, and as of yesterday the display looks like it's written in Klingon. Even when it was working, the radio reception never was very good, and it is a pain to dock the iPad--you have to line it up just so. I won't be buying Philips anymore!

i bought this dock yesterday great sound easy to use love it

I liked it because of the speaker quality, but I never learned how to really set it up so I just used my iPhone alarm clock.

One night in the middle of the night it totally fried my iPhone and melted the entire bottom of the phone and melted the clock.

I am getting my money back!!!

Still don't have the clock set up right. Very confusing. Hard to get iPhone on to charge it also to position iPad is also difficult. After 3 days can't get date right also the clock runs slow. Sound ok.

Love the sound, remote,quality of this unit. Only problem I have is it's sometimes hard to dock the iPad if you're not directly on center. It's also hard to slide the on switch on the iPad bc it's so close to the iPhone. If the iPad dock were more offset to one side it would be easier to get to. Also, that plastic piece behind the iPad dock sticks up when not in use. Afraid it may break off if bumped. Otherwise, I love this unit!!!

After 3 months of research for a unit to work with todays newest Apple media, this one meets my demands. Except, and here it is, if you own an iPhone with a Otter Box case, be prepared to purchase at lease one "30 pin pass-through extender". Both connecting plugs on the docking unit are not tall enough to make contact with the internal male connector in your iPhone, unless you remove the Otter Box case completely ! Wish it had a earphone jack for those private moments of listening. And read the manual carefully and experiment with the unit. It will solve problems you may have in the middle of the night or waking up at the wrong time with no music. On a happier note, the sound is great. Surprised to see 2 rear-mounted bass ports. Not bad for the price. Enjoy.

No issues with this alarm clock. Once you figure out how to set all the alarms and what not, it's a breeze to use. Would definitely recommend it. Plus the sound is pretty good for an alarm clock. I use my iPhone 4 and my 'New' iPad on it. Works great!

The looks of this clock are great, sleek simple design which is the reason I bought it. Once you use it is when you start asking yourself what idiot designed this thing. I like to use the snooze bar and what they have done is they have put the off button for the alarm right next to the snooze bar. So when I'm swinging my arm over at 6am 50% of the time I'm turning the alarm off by accident. So what I thought was great design when bought it has turned out to terrible design when I used it.
