iLive iC308B Dual Alarm Projection Clock Radio with Nature Sounds and Dock for iPod (Black) Review

Really disappointing radio. Here are the problems I had with it:
1. Whenever you turn it on, the volume is always set at 20. This is really loud! I expected there to be some sort of 'volume memory'; when I set it at level 10, it should stay at level 10 when I turn it on the next time. It doesn't.
2. The nature sounds have a very clear "silent pause" when the sound loops. This is quite annoying to listen to a silent moment every 20 seconds when I'm trying to relax.
3. The digital time projection states in the manual that it is reversible. It isn't. When it's projected on the ceiling with the clock next to my bed, the projection is upside down. I should be able to reverse it, but I can't.
4. Customer service is virtually non-existent. The website only has .pdf versions of the instruction manual included with the item (which is woefully lacking). They do not have a toll-free support line, so be prepared to pay for a long-distance call. I called their customer service line to address my concerns, spent 40 minutes on hold, then was transferred to the voice mail of someone with a very thick Indian accent. Waste of time and money- thanks iLive!
I've returned this item. Don't make the same mistake I did by purchasing this POS!

Wake up and fall asleep to iPod, AM/FM radio, and four nature sounds. When you wake, iPod will be charged and ready to go. An LED projection system displays the time on a wall or ceiling, and a white noise generator provides extra peace and quiet by filtering out unwanted background noise.

Digital Tune AM/FM Radio Set presets with your favorite AM/FM stations.
iPod Docking Station The iC308B features a certified iPod Connector for docking your iPod. The recharge circuit charges your device while it's docked, and included are brackets for fitting the different iPod models. While it's docked, you can control your iPod from the iC308B control panel.
Digital Clock Wake to iPod, radio, buzzer, white noise, or nature sounds with the digital alarm clock/radio. Four nature sounds are included: bird singing, river, ocean, and summer night.
The dual alarm means you can set multiple wake times, and the standard snooze/sleep functions are included. If there's a power outage, battery backup will keep you on time.
LCD and Projection Display Check the time on the face of the iC308B using the blue backlit 0.8-inch segment LCD with dimmer control.
Even cooler is the red projection display, which enables you to display the time on your ceiling, wall, or wherever you see fit. The display has a 90 degree adjustment range.
Input/Output Have a more intimate listen with the stereo headphone jack, and use the auxiliary 3.5-mm line-in jack to connect auxiliary devices, such as MP3 or CD players.
