Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sangean HDR-1 Table Top HD Radio Receiver
Customer Review: HD Radio
Summary: 5 Stars
When we lost our Classical station what was left for us to choose from was disquesting. Than we read about a Publice Radio station that was going to add a Classical Music station, however, it would be on HD. That was not as easy as it sounds for there are not a lot of places that sell these radios, you can buy receivers but a radio is not that easy to come by. This radio is also a clock radio so it has not only an alarm but also a sleep mode, everything I wanted. It was easy to set up if you follow the directions and since we are in an area with electrical transfer station and many electrical wires sometimes reception is not perfect. This item, however, filled the bill by attaching the extra FM antenna (supplied)we are once again enjoying good music,Customer Review: Good product, nice look

I purchased this product for the big meeting room in my office. I have had it for about 2 months. The HD sound is very good. I like the equalization presets which, unlike other presets on other radios I have, is not heavy on the bass. I like a sharp, clean sound with no excessive bass rumble so prevalent in most radio and TV programs. One of the reviews stated that the remote is absolutely necessary to operate the controls. The large knob is a selector switch as well as a volume knob. The only thing I cannot do from the radio but only from the remote is the "mute" function.
The sound is clear and is responsive in locating HD signals rapidly. The wood veneer looks good in an office meeting room. I would recommend this radio.
Customer Review: Very disappointed

I purchased this radio because our favorite smooth-jazz station became a hip-hop station, and we learned that the smooth jazz programming was available on the secondary digital channel. However, we could not get the second channel to work with any consistency. It worked in the kitchen, but not in the bedroom, where we had intended to use it. Another reviewer has commented on the user-unfriendly setup process, and I second those comments totally. But the deal-killer for me is that it just can't pull in the stations. I tried everything. It just doesn't work very well at all.
We live in suburban Dallas.
I'm sending it back. I NEVER send stuff back, but this was really unsatisfactory.
Customer Review: This is the finest one I have purchased (of four)
Summary: 4 Stars
I have purchased four HD table-top radios and this is the one with the best reception (I have placed them all side by side, the Sony, the Accurian (Radio Shack), the iLuv). I think the people who gave this bad reviewers wither did not set up the antenna optimally or do not realize that the HD signals are always weaker only the strongest stations will come in HD.
I do not recommend this as a bedroom clock radio, try the iLuv 168 for that, I love it.
This radio is loaded with tech features I have not seen elsewhere... such as a display for the HD signal strength adn much more. Those who are techical (geeks) or radio buffs will prefer this radio.
The cabinet is real wood.
Customer Review: EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED

THIS SO-CALLED 'HIGH DEF.'(SANGEAN HD TABLE TOP) RADIO IS CERTAINLY NOT WORTH THE COST. I LIVE 100 MILES EQUIDISTANT FROM TWO LARGE CITIES ON THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA, AND THIS RADIO SIMPLY CANNOT CLEARLY AND DISTINCTLY PULL IN ANY STATIONS ON THE AM BAND FROM THESE TWO CITIES. THERE IS ENTIRELY TOO MUCH STATIC AND HISS THAT THE RADIO IS VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE ON THE AM BAND. MOREOVER, THE FM BAND IS JUST BARELY PASSABLE AND THE RADIO CAN PULL IN JUST ONE 'HD STATION', ONE THAT IS JUST FIFTY MILES AWAY. THE PURCHASE WAS A MISTAKE AND I SHALL NOW ACTIVATE THE SATELLITE RADIO BUILT INTO MY HD HOME THEATER SYSTEM, EVEN THOUGH THIS WILL NOT BE THE MOST CONVENIENT SET-UP. ALL I CAN SAY IS CAVEAT EMPTOR.
