Backlit LCD
Easy-to-see large, full-dot backlit LCD has brightness, contrast, and display mode adjustments.
Quality Sound
The XDR-S10HDiP enclosure features stereo, full-range 2.6-inch speakers with bass reflex for tight, quality audio. Dial it in with treble and bass tone controls, and get a little more spaciousness with surround sound functions.
iPod Dock
Play and control your iPod through the XDR-S10HDiP system. While it's docked, it receives a charge, so it's ready to go when you are. You also can control iPod features from the included remote control, and enjoy iTunes tagging capability with certain models.
High Fidelity AM/FM/HD Radio Technology
With 20 FM and 20 AM presets, accurate digital tuning, and HD radio, the XDR-S10HDiP is a powerhouse of the airwaves. Listen to traditional AM/FM radio or enjoy clear, static-free HD digital radio reception of digital broadcasts simulcast by many stations. HD radio provides the ability to receive multiple program streams over a single FM frequency (multiplexed broadcasting), allowing stations to have subchannels with different programming and opening up a wealth of listening options. HD radio also provides text-based information--artist name, song title, etc., which are scrolled across the receiver display.
Best of all, there are no monthly fees for HD radio, unlike satellite radio, where you have to purchase a subscription.
iTunes Tagging Capability
The iTunes Tag button on the new XDR-S1OHDiP allows you to tag songs you like that are broadcast by HD radio stations. Information about these tagged songs is stored by the receiver and transferred to your iPod. When you connect your iPod to your computer, iTunes automatically presents the songs in a new Tagged playlist so you can preview, buy, and download them. iTunes Tagging is a great way to discover new music add it to your collection.
The iPod models that are compatible with iTunes Tagging are iPod nano 3G and iPod classic 5G, 5.5G, and 6G.
Alarm Clock
Wake up to the radio, buzzer, line-in source, or iPod--it's your choice. Also, a sleep timer lets you drift off to your favorite tunes.

Mistle (NY, NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sony XDR-S10HDiP HD Radio with Dock for iPod/iPhone (Electronics) Excellent product for something that I wasn't so sure at first. Reading the other reviewer's comments, I was afraid that the giant voltage converter (the "brick") was going to make a lot of noise. But it doesn't and quiet actually. The sound quality was acceptable (the surround sound is a very old feature of Sony, all the way from the 80's). There is an audio in, for your non-iPod gadgetry. It works fine for my iPod Touch and iPod nano (3rd gen). The remote can play playlists. The iTunes tag, a cool feature, is not used often enough by me, since I listen mostly to NPR, not music stations. I do notice the tag light will light up at times (if the station identifies the song at all).
At first I didn't know how to take off the universal dock adapter (supplied), causing a little problem and a nick on the plastic with a sharp surgical blade. There is a little recess at the back of the plastic adapter to take off the whole adapter. The universal adapter does not work for the two...Read more 273 of 286 people found the following review helpful:  An average HD Radio with iTunes Tagging, By NEXT "Next" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sony XDR-S10HDiP HD Radio with Dock for iPod/iPhone (Electronics) I bought this Sony HD Radio because I was impatient to get the iTunes tagging feature; after thoroughly testing the device, here's my feedback.
First let's start with the Pros: - Good Sound, Treble are clear and the bass are decent for a radio of this size. The Surround feature brings a spatial sound that helps to overcome the small size of the speakers. - Nice display: the LCD is bright and easy to read especially with HD Radios that broadcasts a lot of information like the show title, song title and their name. Now let's get to the cons and there are a lot: - The AC supply is external, heavy and connected to the Radio. I mean there's no way to unplug the AC power cord from the radio, its sealed. - Even worse, the AC supply produces a very audible buzz when connected to the electrical outlet. I tried several different outlets with or without an RFI filter, the sound was still there and it can be very...Read more 24 of 26 people found the following review helpful: Big Fan - Great IPhone 3G Integration, By marco polo (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sony XDR-S10HDiP HD Radio with Dock for iPod/iPhone (Electronics) I just bought this and I also own the older Sony XDR-S3HD HD Radio by Sony.
I bought HD because I can't get reception for NPR in my kitchen and HD works great. I like this one because it is sleeker, smaller and black (although I don't think it sounds as good as the S3HD - but I like the sound just fine) The Ipod/iphone integration is SOLID - flawless so far - remote control of playlists, song searching, volume, etc. I have an IPod Mini 6GB and an IPhone 3G and I Pod 30 GB (2007 model) and it works perfectly with all three - including charging all three, etc... WHen I get a call on the Iphone while it is docked (and playing), the music mutes and the phone ringer comes through the Sony speakers - nice details. THe footprint is small and I was already a fan of the HD radio - menus are intuitive, has sleep function, works easily and reliably... The only thing is that it only came with only one ipod "tray" attachment (I think for the...Read more |
