Sony XDRF1HD, very nice November 23, 2008
Larry Markos (St. Louis)
Very satisfied with the receiver. The is our first HD device, so we don't have much to compare it to, but it is easy to use, and the sound quality is super. Setting the preset buttons is simple. It's compact and that is nice, but the face is impossible to read from very far away, except for the time. We would purchase it again.
 high hopes... November 18, 2008

I was thrilled to find a reasonable price on this unit. However, it's ability to receive FM is compromised and the HD is impossible. Rooftop dedicated RF antenna with no FM blocks...disappointing reception for sure. It's compact size is unique and utilitarian. Apart from poor performance, I like it. But then again, I like some empty cigar boxes too but they don't pull in RF freq either. I had a Sony STJ-75 previously and it worked well-prior to the lightening attack years ago that is.
 total bang for buck! November 14, 2008

I got this unit and find that it will search and connect to many more HD radio stations than my more expensive Polk Audio system... The size is small and has a big legible led text screen. I bought some M-audio studiophile monitors and returned them after reading about the quality of Bose speakers, that were priced the same, $99.99 at a Bose store and though not exceedingly loud, the combination of this sony and the bose speakers is outstanding... I like to set the sleep function and or have HD presets to toggle through, or search through... Only one issue, which is the same for all HD radios, is that when I select a HD station, it sometimes takes a few seconds to resolve to hear it; but other than that a definite bang for your buck; couple with Bose speakers at $99.99 sounds incredible, very palpable, audible, and not blaring and very clear.-Which if you like, they have pricier Bose speaker models/ systems. Bose speakers will allow for TWO rca inputs, thus you are able to connect Sony and another DVD player separately, directly into the bose 2 rca inputs on the back of the Bose speaker itself.... That is something the competition does not have, like the M-audio speakers... This could also be incorporated into and existing system, but have to say that this with Bose speakers, makes for a very small footprint and huge audio... This is a good system coupled with Bose, if you want small and big sound- they had some much smaller speakers that bose made for like 2 or 3 times as much, $.$$ then in effect that would be even smaller and produce an even more rich roomy high tech decibels- fantastic sound; I heard them in the local Bose store... If you are looking around, would say best does not always have to break the bank... Also, you will need an RCA cable if you are to do the sony/bose setup....
Good option for whole house audio. November 13, 2008

Added this unit to a whole house audio installation - works great and picks up stations very well. It's hard to find a simple tuner to add to whole house systems without spending a fortune, but this one fits the bill just perfectly.
Only negative on the unit would be that I have not been able to get universal remotes to talk to it yet. Included remote works fine, but then the client has one more remote to deal with. Otherwise it works great.
Fantastic!!! November 11, 2008

Bought this item because I was tired of not getting decent radio reception from my office at work. I work about 12 miles from our local small town and reception has always been terrible. This little radio/tuner gives me great reception even from the smallest stations.
The only problem I had was that I initially didn't know what to do for speakers and didn't want to spend a bunch more $$ on speakers with RCA jacks. I ended up buying a decent pair of computer speakers and bought a RCA adapter for them so I could hook into the RCA jacks and it has worked out perfectly.
