How to Set Old Sony Alarm Clock Radios Manually

Setting an old Sony alarm clock radio manually may seem daunting, but it's actually quite simple. Follow these steps to set your clock and wake up to music or beeps on time.

1. Locate the Clock Set and Alarm Set Buttons

Most Sony alarm clock radios have two separate buttons for setting the clock and the alarm. The "Clock Set" button is typically located on the back or bottom of the clock, while the "Alarm Set" button is usually on the front panel.

2. Set the Clock

Press and hold the "Clock Set" button. The hour digits will start flashing. Use the up and down buttons to adjust the hour. Once the correct hour is set, press the "Clock Set" button again. The minute digits will start flashing. Adjust the minutes in the same way and press the "Clock Set" button once more to confirm the time.

3. Set the Alarm Time

Press the "Alarm Set" button. The alarm hour digits will start flashing. Adjust the hour using the up and down buttons. Press the "Alarm Set" button again to set the minutes. Adjust the minutes in the same way.

4. Choose Alarm Mode

Some Sony alarm clock radios offer multiple alarm modes, such as "Radio" (which wakes you up to the radio) or "Buzzer" (which wakes you up to a beeping sound). Use the "Mode" button to cycle through the options and select your preferred alarm mode.

5. Set Alarm Volume

Use the volume up and down buttons to adjust the alarm volume to your desired level.

6. Activate the Alarm

Once the alarm time, mode, and volume are set, slide the "Alarm On/Off" switch to the "On" position. The alarm indicator light will turn on, indicating that the alarm is active.

Tips

If you want the alarm to go off every day, leave the "Alarm On/Off" switch in the "On" position.
To turn off the alarm temporarily, press the "Snooze" button. The alarm will sound again after a few minutes.
To disable the alarm completely, slide the "Alarm On/Off" switch to the "Off" position.
If you have any trouble setting your old Sony alarm clock radio manually, refer to the user manual for specific instructions.

Following these steps will help you set your old Sony alarm clock radio manually and ensure you wake up on time, whether to the sound of your favorite radio station or a trusty buzzer.
