Philips DC200 Clock Radio and iPod Dock review

Looking for a great clock radio to use with your iPod? Here is the Philips DC200, a great clock radio complete with an iPod dock and mp3 connection. Not only is this a great-looking unit, it sports fantastic sound and a bag full of features. Yet another great thing about this clock is that it has the ability to play back music directly from a USB device, like a thumb drive or storage device.

On the decent-sized LCD screen the clock will show you what track you are playing, as well as the time of course. When you are setting your alarm you can choose from waking up to your own music, the radio or a selection of pre-loaded nature sounds. The sound quality is pretty good in a small room, but don’t expect it to replace your regular stereo or anything. If you hate programming FM radio stations you can just hold down the ‘prog’ button and the clock will automatically find 20 stations for you.

For the price, you are getting a fair sounding clock radio with iPod capability. It is nice looking, has all the features you need and then some. Anyone who likes to listen to their music by their bedside will find that the Philips DC200 Clock Radio fits the bill perfectly, so if you have an iPod lover in the family and are on a budget this is a great choice, and you can never go wrong with Philips.
