Great HD tuner; worth the money November 19, 2009
J. G. Tonn
Great HD quality tuner from Sony;however very annoying that presets are lost after a power fail. I'd pay a little extra for that feature.
 just right November 14, 2009
G. Curtis (Cape Coral FL)
I'm a confirmed old tube type golden ear audiophile and have had the best exotic and esoteric equipment money can buy. I have to say that the negative reviewers have had a defective unit or have a defective ear. This unit is perfect in every sense of the functionality and the performance is fantastic. The lack of an optical digital output is not a meaningful criticism as it would only be a marketing ploy rather than a sound enhancement, somewhat akin to "digital speakers"
Try it you will love it.
Very goood inexpensive HD tuner November 12, 2009

For the price you can't go wrong. It pulls in even regular stations exceedingly well.
As a former US Navy electonics technician I am amazed at just how good it is.
Amazing tuner November 10, 2009

Even if you are of the "Anti-HD" crowd, you will like this tuner. The sensitivity and selectivity of it is nothing short than stellar. I am able to hear stations next to locals that no other tuner I own can receive. The audio quality is superb, with no noise, hiss, or hum from the unit when tuned into a station broadcasting dead air (hello WDOM). Some important notes about the tuner to know.
1)The tuner does not store it's memory for more than 2-3 minutes after AC power is disconnected. There is a fix on the internet that involves replacing the "memory storage" capacitor. Just be careful you don't get one of too high value and destroy the power supply.
2)You can't directly enter a frequency. Simple fix for this is to save some presets scattered throughout the band. Its quicker to preset jump and tune from that point.
3)You can't disable the HD blending without modification. This is troublesome for when you are listening to a station where the chief doesn't care about the HD signal and it sounds like garbage.
4)It does put out a lot of heat. A minor fan modification may actually help this. Do not cover the top vent holes or put it in a cubby when running it.
Those notes aside, this is truly a radio guy's dream tuner, and an amazing performer.
Well worth the skimpy price for it.
Also a quick note: it has been noted some HD radios do AM stereo. This one does not.
receives fm as good as areally good analog tuner November 7, 2009
Paul R. Cavanaugh (westville nj)
although i did not use a digital antenna, i found the sony xdrf 1hd to be just as good as a 700 dollar receiver. a good value
