They keep broadcasting the great variety of non commercial music they do and I can keep these tuners in working condition. I have some very good HD-2 channels from the Collage stations in the area I live so the HD tuners are here to stay for me as long as Past, it locks onto the HD signal and holds on it extremely well. The Sony pulls in stations way better then most tuners I own or have owned in the That's the only time I ever had any trouble with it. (There may not be listed all compatible models. Remote control is dedicated for SONY: A-1483-895-A, A1483895A, XDR-F1HD, XDR-S3HD, XDRF1HD, XDRS3HD. Duplicate 1:1 of the original remote control SONY RMT-CF1A (RMTCF1A). The unit broke loose from the circuit board and lost it's connection, I was able to fix the circuit board and reestablish a connection and SONY RMT-CF1A - remote control duplicate - 16.8 : REMOTE CONTROL WORLD. Now my Sony HD tuner had a channel go out on me about 18 months ago and when I took it apart I found the RCA jack on the back of HD signal will drift in and out of HD on the HD-1 channels. Sometimes the Sangean will have trouble keeping a lock on the HD-2 channels and will shift over to the HD-1 channel and sometimes the The Sangean has never given me any problems and is very user friendly although I like the performance of the Sony XDR-F1HD far better, I bought both HD tuners when they first came out ( Sangean HDT-1 & Sony XDR-F1HD ) Suggest Punker X repair/upgrade/replacement is the only route to go once you've had one of the little Sony's -yer probably spoiled for life -whether you know it now or not. Loaned my second Sony to a buddy who keeps trying to get me to sell/trade it to him and I keep explaining to him that these are not all that well built and I anticipate going thru one and needing it's replacement. The performance of these is simply stunning at pulling in distant stations - build quality - ah ,hmm ,eck -OK -not very impressive. I've owned some pretty good tuners over the years (Marantz 10B, the Top of the line Tandberg -can't remember the model number ?) - in terms of DXing - nothing touches these little Sony's - part of this is simply antenna placement luck (high ridge) - but I reliably pull in stations from Madison, Green Bay and Chicago from slightly N-W of Milwaukee ,Wi. My guess is you'll still have at least 500 bucks into this thing to get it with HD module. Requires some signal-trace surgery and a switch, I understand. However, it's such a decent little RF-machine that many would prefer to listen to the analog. idea was you could send different programs to separate rooms in the manse. Of course, the issue is that if a station is broadcast in HD, and if the signal clear enough to be usable, then the Sony gives HD preference. No reason to list the features lacking since they have been addressed before by others.There was a close out on a Denon multi-input tuner for about 400 bucks recently - this unit has four "slots" to take either multiple AM/FM tuner modules, XM/Sirius module or a HD module in any of it's slots. This tuner is really impressive, especially for $50 net price (using rebate). It really points out the poor job setting up the HD feed at some stations. About 3 stations were great, really close to CD quality. It receives local AM and FM stations as well as all the. On to FM, was able to compare about 8 HD stations to the Adcom tuner. That means you have to plug it into a hi-fi or home theater setup to listen. It still amazes me that AM can sound that good in HD. After I reported up to 2.1 dB of mismatch loss in the front-end, evidently due to. He uses an external circuit to convert the tuner's 75-s deemphasis response to the 50 s used in Europe. My JVC HDR1 in the car has trouble some days with that signal. Peter Krner, who lives in Sweden, was so impressed with reports of the analog FM performance of the Sony XDR-F1HD that he had one shipped to him. Tuned in the Radio Disney across town (1190 AM) and was amazed that it was in solid HD and 3 bars. With high power the station might be solid HD. I had one bar and the HD blinking, but would not go HD. That is about 100 miles away and on a hot day. With the supplied antennas I was able to pick up 1110 AM in Omaha. I hooked up to my Adcom tuner/pre and used my Bose QC 2 headphones for some quick checks.
