Title: The 'Not Ready For Prime Time' Radio
Product review: I bought the Sony HD radio with high hopes. What a disappointment.I thought HD radio meant you either had a signal or you didn't - isn't that digital sound ? Certainly that's what happens with the satellite XM receiver in my car. No so here, marginal signals sound a little like someone is unwrapping thick plastic wrap and the HD fades in and out.Even the conventional signal produces lousy audio.I compared the Sony sound quality with with my least expensive 'high end' radio, a one hundred dollar Tivoil Audio single speaker system. I connected a Terk powered FM antenna to both devices and the Tivoli completely outshone the Sony. The Sony's 'surround sound' feature hardly improves a miserable level of fidelity.Save your money until Sony gets it right or buy one of their boom boxes. You will be much happier. I returned mine yesterday.
