 Nice HD deck September 24, 2008
Peter F. Gawne (Boston)
I pruchased this deck to replace a worn out cd player in my car. I really enjoy the clarity of the HD radio, but I do live around a city where I here HD signals are more readily available. I have not taken it into rural areas where I hear that signals can be hard to acquire. The cd clarity is as good as I need it, but I am not a really a good judge of quality sound. I just want a player that is clear and easy to use. I also like the optional ipod adapter which makes playinghte ipod in the car easy, and allows me to keep the ipod in the glove away from prying eyes. The only feature that I have not found useful yet is the remote. In my car the radio is not so far away as to necessitate a remote.
Great Radio August 8, 2008
R. Blum (Midwest)
Standard installation, standard radio controls, figured it out before I had a chance to read the owner's manual.
It'a amazing to hear the difference HD makes. With this radio you tune in your station, initially it picks it up in Standard Definition (SD), if it has High Definition (HD) content a little HD icon pops up. It then switches to HD. If the station has alternate programming pressing "Up" on the selector knob will go to the next channel that the station broadcasts, HD-1, HD-2, and so on. HD stations also broadcast their call letters so the radio will display the station as "KWMU - 90.7".
This really a revolution in radio, I'm late to join the revolution, but I'm sold on the technology.
Also, the CD player works great.
Please review your local stations and wikipedia before buying to see if the technology is right for your needs and location.
 Terrible AM reception May 23, 2008

If you are a talk radio person like myself this radio's AM reception stinks so bad it's ridiculous.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure where a person can find an honest review of car radio AM reception capabilities.
Another issue with this radio is that it is terribly underpowered. Even when tuned in on a strong HD radio station I cannot turn up the volume high enough to get the sound adequately up and over the noise of the vehicle.
Turn the volume up much beyond the 30 level (the digital level goes from 1 to 50) and the sound becomes so distorted you cannot understand it.
I have some really awesome car radios, e.g., I have a 10 year old Sony CDX-4160 which blows this radio away on the AM stations, sitting in the same driveway.
Avoid this radio if you want AM reception.
I would have never bought it again for my second car if it was not so great! April 20, 2008

It is very user friendly, sounds very well and is the less expensive one with HD radio built in (will tell you singer name and song title while you listen the radio + much better audio quality). Remote control is included and with some more money you can make it play all kind of mp3 player.+++
Great reciever. March 31, 2008

I'm no sound system expert, but this receiver made the stock speakers in my car sound better.
I installed it myself. Very easy to use. It'll take you 1-2 hours to learn about the useful features; for me thats playing mp3 cds, switching to different sound modes, and listening to the HD radio(really does have mp3 quality sound) via the presets for different stations. I didn't have to do anything in particular to utilize the hd, it was a matter of whether or not a station is hd compatible, if it is then the receiver will automatically take several seconds to switch to hd mode.
