 Sonic marvel!!! January 8, 2009
N. Shanks (Scottsdale, AZ.)
Bought this product about 3 months and found it to be a great buy for the $$. I went to a techie review website to get more details on its performance, from an electrical spec, and they had nothing but praise for it. Apparently the chip set was/is used in hi performance units for outstanding performance. I am pressed to tell the difference between HD-FM amd my CD player for the same sound track. Like "Barcelona Nights" by Ottmar Liebert. One of our local FM stations plays the heck out of this album. Make sure you play it thru a quality power-amp with a set of above average speakers. A sub-woofer wouldn't hurt either.
Amazing January 6, 2009

This has to be the best off air tuner i have ever used, the HD works perfect on both AM and FM, it even cleans up old analog stations to near perfect sound.
Great tuner January 4, 2009
Michael W. Overson (Portland, OR)
Great tuner, picks up a bunch of HD stations here in Portland with included antenna. It does need a battery to keep presets when the power goes out. Otherwise it is a 5 star product. One last thing - the design is pretty staid...it could use a bit of sexing up by the designers at Sony.
 I can't hear the radio! December 27, 2008

The radio has no internal speakers.
All we wanted was a small HD desktop radio to listen to the new AM/FM station in HD, without auxiliary equipment.
Exellent Tuner for Receiveing IBOC HD on FM & AM December 27, 2008

I've been quite pleased with the Sony XDR-F1HD. The pluses: Sensitive and selective on FM. Good weak signal handling (low background noise) on weak FM stations. Pretty good sensitivity on AM. When an AM HD signal locks on, the audio is almost FM like. Minuses: No FM stereo defeat. No HD defeat. No way to turn off the display light which may be of concern for a bedroom. Analog AM bandwidth is quite narrow which results in muddy audio on non-HD signals, so don't buy this tuner for analog AM listening. The unit has no internal AM ferrite antenna or built-in FM telescoping antenna. An FM wire dipole with F connector and 3-inch square AM loop (remember to remove the wire insulation from the twin leads before inserting into the AM antenna clip jacks) are included. The 3-segment signal strength meter is of limited utility vis-a-vis orienting the antenna(s) for maximum signal level. The XDR-F1HD is a good match for the Kloss Model 88 table radio which has two auxiliary inputs. The XDR-F1HD has line-level RCA phono L & R channel audio out (interconnect is not included.) The tuner's light blue display shows frequency, time, and when transmitted RDS and HD station & program information; due to limited display real estate this station information scrolls continuously both horizontally and vertically which makes for challenging reading. But you get this tuner for its remarkable radio performance and very good FM audio processing.
