Designed for the contemporary home, this table radio features a white back-lit prismatic LCD display set in a stunning high-gloss black cabinet hand-finished in a transparent lacquer. Sporting an FM/AM digital tuner, monaural base reflex speaker, highly sensitive digital tuning control and tone control, this device is the classic modern radio.

Reviewed by Sam Tellig of Stereophile Magazine, the ICF-M1000 was included on their annual list of Recommended Components [Vol.29, No.12]:

"This sleek, modern table radio has a cabinet of vinyl-covered MDF finished in handsome piano-black lacquer and offers a tone control, a line input for portable music players, and a 1/8" stereo headphone minijack. There are no station presets and no alarm. ST preferred the Sony's FM sound over that of the Tivoli Model One, but found the Sony's AM reception to be inferior to that of the Music Hall RDR-1. However, the combination of the Sony's excellent overall sound, ease of use, and elegant styling make it a winner.
