Sony XDR-S3HD HD Radio Reviews
I would tell people not to buy it not worth it money. The display is a nother thing it does what ever it want to it goes bright and than dark . I bought this hd radio and it worked good at first about a week ago it started to good wild the clock won't stay set i set it and it does good for about a half the day and it has to be set again.
Don't buy it The sound quality through HD is no better. in fact worse than FM and the only advantage is that you can see the title of the song which is playing. The concept of HD radio seems to be fundamentally flawed in that there are very few radio stations which are available in HD but not on FM. terrible base, and very thin sound and no depth. The radio itself is very disappointing.
because they suck. this item is consantly freezing up. this is a piece of junk. I have to continuely unplug the radio. It resets itself. you only see refurbed items, no new items in stock anywhere.
easy to set up and convenient remote control. Sony XDR-S3HD HD RadioThis is an excellent product with great sound quality. Very good reception and easy tuning and presets.
I like the XDR-S3HD. I tried plugging in my MP3 player and it came through with good volume. Tonal quality for the radio's size is very good. I live in SF Bay Area in close proximity to transmitters for a lot of stations; so the antennas included in the box worked OK. Radio is great for home office or kitchen. What was really good about this radio was its price.
Base and treble are easy to adjust. With stations multicasting, it's nice to have 20 FM-HD presets. It requires a little work for good reception since it has no built in antennas. I get FM reception from all over the Bay Area and as far out as Sacramento. Controls are intuitive and easy to access. I also, for AM, ran a 20 ft length of bare wire in the attic with insulated wire to the radio then grounded the second AM input.
What totally eliminated HD drop-outs however was to use my outdoor TV antenna for FM-HD. It has the necessary clock radio features; so it would also serve well on a nightstand. AM tunes in all the locals fine, and at night I receive all up and down the west coast. Fry's sells it for $99.90 and during September was giving out $50 rebates; so the radio cost me just $50. FM-HD radio reception is excellent on all the HD multicast stations I like.
