The song info can be seen in the little screen as the song plays. You can go forward and backwards (only in the first few seconds of the song) to move from song to song. I put a bunch of stuff on it and just let it play while I'm out walking. I don't find it easy to locate a particular song.

No it doesn't. There's no built in back light. Sorry. It only displays the name of the song and who's it by.

This is not a definitive answer, but I started charging it, then tried to play a song, and got nothing until I turned the speaker on. Then the alternating red and blue lights that signify a charge is in progress stopped and just the blue flashed, as it does when you are playing. So my answer is no, but I would get a second opinion.

Hi, illuminated like in a small light? No. It just displays with normal digital numbers.

Yes, the LCD screen is normally dark ( but viewable in room light ), but when you perform a function, press buttons, etc. the screen does light up.
2154909
Yes. Plug it in and with in a couple seconds it should light up. play sound to check and see if somehow the setting is for audio but mine was on manual when i got it.

There is a few different setting for the display. You'll have to chose the one for artist/song title, and it doesn't noe have hd radio.

Yes - I have found it depends on the color you choose. Overall I have found a few color combinations that allow me to see the display in daylight. I love this unit! It has everything and is well designed. My only complaint is the songs from radio are not displayed (title/artist)

There is a setup where you can choose what to display by default (Station, song title, clock, etc..) and then there is also a display button in the top right corner of the unit which when pressed cycles through the different display options such as MP3 title, folder and artist as well as radio station banner information and artist and/or clock. Depending on which display option you choose you may or may not see the clock. The display cannot show everything at once.

I do not believe it does. In my experience, I didn't need the full color display.

Yes! this is one of the things I like about this unit. Press the rightmost "DISP" button to toggle between the station, text display and clock. When you toggle to the clock, the clock appears on the right side of the display and on the left side the station button number appears (or track number if you're playing a disc or USB drive). The unit remembers the display setting even after the unit is powered down, then powered back on.
68371
Yes, it can display the clock while playing music via any source. You just need to cycle through the different displays using the Display button.

No. The light does not work well and the display can barely be seen in natural daylight. I can not recommend this product and would not buy it again.

If you turn the light on, yes. If not, you'll have to get real close to be able to read it. The thing with this unit is that it is pretty loud. Loud enough that I had to remove it from my living room because the noise was bothering me.

You need to push the on/off button ones to turn on the LED lights. It only lights up during the music if you push this button.
790640
yes - there is an on/off switch that it lights up when turned on, regardless of whether music is playing.
1306932
Yes I did until I turned up the brightness on the display. Look in the manual, it will tell you how.

No..the display will be on the screen all the time.....it will become brighter when the unit is turned on.....
