Great radio

by R. Airhart 2008-06-09, 65 people found this review helpful
Compared to the current Sangean, the Sony XDRF1HD is smaller, costs less, and gets as good of a signal. I have it on my computer desk plugged into my PreSonus Firebox amp.

Nice features:
* sleep button
* remote control

Not so nice:
* no volume control from Sony itself (would not matter if my PreSonus amp had a remote control)
* does not remember channels or time after a power outage

If you have HD channels in your area that you enjoy, then this is a good box. I live in D.C. and basically got this box for the extra WAMU channels.

Stellar Sony tuner

by Phil Beckman 2008-10-03, 15 people found this review helpful
This is one amazing tuner. The performance on regular FM is on a par with the most expensive tuners. Superb sensitivity and selectivity. The Sony locks on to the digital carrier quickly, and displays the transmitted call sign, etc. on its bright LCD screen. More on that later. The AM performance is excellent, although a bit narrow-band for my tastes.
What's not as stellar? The bright LCD screen does not dim when the power is off, the tuner 'forgets' its presets if there is a power interruption of some length, it runs hot, and the supplied FM dipole is too long by about 6". Minor stuff, and if you know what you are doing, correctable.
I am in the broadcasting industry and would seriously consider using this tuner in critical applications. It's that good!
Oh... It has a decent manual and a good remote control, too.

A Good Buy, But it is not a Radio

by J. Battani 2008-05-14, 19 people found this review helpful
The previous reviewers are right in a sense. The Sony XDRF1HD HD Radio is not a radio. The product title may be misleading. It is a tuner. As a HD tuner, the price is right. I connected the unit to my Pioneer Stereo receiver. Set up was simple. The remote control is a breeze to use. Reception is great and I receive about 20 HD stations in the Miami - Fort Lauderdale area.
