Question: Is there an "out" function for ear phones?  Seems to be hard to find nowadays.
Document: My mother in law was settled into her room at a nursing home, she's 80 years old. She missed hearing her favorite talk shows on AM radio, so I purchased this "transitor" radio for her along with ear phones. It was the perfect buy! It is simple and easy to use, shall I say old school? Some AM stations can be tricky to find, with low signal. This radio pulled in them all, the reception was great!
We loved it so much, we just bought two more! My husband read all of the reviews before deciding on this radio, so thanks to everyone for the heads up. With radio's being so cheaply made nowadays, it is hard to find a good quality radio, with great reception, but here it is.
Basic AM/FM radios are hard to find nowadays. I work in mid-town Manhattan and couldn't easily find a basic AM/FM radio. Everything uses an I-Pod as its brain. Some of us want a basic radio and here is a pretty good one.It plays well, and picks up some stations that other radios (my clock radios, including a vintage Proton) cannot get.
I am a postal carrier and in my truck I love to have my radio (most postal vehicles do not have radios). The GE Radio I had for years finally died and to my surprise it is hard to find an AM/FM portable radio in town. When driving a postal vehicle it is against postal policy and the DMV rules to have ear buds so most of the current offerings would not work for me.
I want to buy one of these. But first, do the left and right sides of the ear phones emit sound?Thanks, Richard
This radio was advertised as having ear phones/buds or, at least, I was led to believe it had such. I was disappointed when it arrived and it only had an ear phone/bud jack -- no ear phones/buds. I had to go to a Sony store and buy a set.
The Sony ICF38 Portable AM/FM  Radio(black) that I purchased from Amazon works very well both AM/ and F/M stations. However when I use earphones I found it was not a stereo radio which means that sounds only come from one side of the ear phones. I had it on stations that are stereo stations and it did not come through as stereo.The head phones are Sony Head Phones and work fine on my TV and my Phillips AM/FM/CD RADIO.
Unfortunately, that sweet spot is sensitive and the jack often pulls out. :(Get what ya pay for I guess. The radio itself gets great reception inside my building where others did not, so if you don't care about the headphone function, this is a great radio. *UPDATE* 2/11/2014SO I have no tried about 5 different ear buds and even a high end set of noise canceling headphones. Still only the left headphone gets sound.
Sony usually puts out a decent product, just like this one is. Bought it for dad, he likes it, uses it a lot. He has a hard time seeing things nowadays but he had no problem working this.
This feature seems unnecessary, as you can hear whether or not the station is tuned in properly. Therefore, the light seems like it will just waste the battery, and serve no other valuable function. Third, and most bizarre, it has a tone switch with "high" and "low" settings. You can tell a difference between the two, but I imagine most users will forget about this feature quickly, as it doesn't dramatically alter your listening experience.
Answer: Specifications say " earphone jack (3.5mm minijack)" hope this helps as I don't use this feature.
