Product Description
The T-4555 DAB/FM/AM/RDS (Radio Data System)/XM/Sirius/HD Radio tuner is designed to provide perfectly tuned audio from AM/FM radio sources. Its solid construction, sturdy-looking black finish with dot-matrix display, and gold-plated audio outputs provide a quality package for some equally impressive internal components. Inside, the T-4555 has a D-type transformer that can reproduce FM and AM radio with the clarity you would expect from a separate component. The slot-type module bay will accommodate any future radio formats or upgrades. The T-4555's connectivity options; RS232, 12 volt triggers and IR inputs/outputs, make this tuner a quality addition to your home entertainment system.

5 out of 5 stars This tuner does it all!   September 28, 2008

OK, if you need a tuner and you don't want to be caught with your pants down, format-wise, then this is the one you want. AM, FM, RDS, Sirius, XM, and HD-Radio (which I LOVE!), this tuner can do them all! Operation has been flawless, with the added perk of remote control of pretty much every function. It seems well built for the money, as all Onkyo products are, in my experience. Sound quality is very good to my ears, but then again, I don't have a $3000 Magnum Dynalab tuner to compare it to! All in all, a very high value product.


4 out of 5 stars Attenna Quirk   July 4, 2008

I have never written a review on Amazon but I felt this needed to be delt with. I had trouble with this tuner receiving both XM radio and HD radio.
I actually returned one unit in exchange for another and the problem continued. After listening to XM radio the tuner was unable to decode the HD signal. My phone calls to both XM radio and Onkyo were unrevealing and terribly unhelpful. Both companies hit a new low in providing useless information. After experimenting I found that my roof antenna was putting out TOO STRONG a signal and probably over loading the tuning circuits. I added a 3dB attenuator and the problem was solved.

The unit has excellent sound and makes the best of the compressed formats
on XM and HD radio. But beware, you antenna may actually be too good.

Another quirk is that you have to press a button to find out what is being played rather than the information appearing automatically.



3 out of 5 stars Nice unit, but you will need to buy a separate XM or Sirius tuner   May 20, 2008

Unit is very nice, looks great in the stack with my other equipment (NAD Amp & PreAmp and Denon SACD player), but please read carefully. It is Sirius and XM READY, meaning it does not have a built in tuner and you will need to buy a separate unit to get either one. Somewhat disappointing for the price and not very well documented here. Other than that I have no complaints and it seems to be a nice unit, but I would not have bought it if I had known it didn't have the tuner built in.
