HDMI receiver with HD radio tuner
This is going to be hard to believe, but I am in the market for
a new receiver and I want one with HD radio tuner. The people at Best Buy, and the Magnolia group within Best Buy don't seem to understand what HD fm tuner is. Knowing that the Denon 3313CI (discontinued) had the HD tuner capability I went online to Denon and tried to find a current model that has HD tuner capability: I could find none, so I called Denon and they gave me a list, really a list of every one of their current models. I could find no mention of HD tuner on any of the models. I found a Sony STRDDH770 which, according to Best Buy, does have an HD tuner. I bought the thing, hooked it up, and there is no HD tuner, nor is there an HD tuner in the next model up STRDN1070 My question here is can anyone suggest a (reasonably) priced receiver that has at least 4K pass-through and an fm HD tuner? Thanks. |

This will vastly multiply your options for receivers rather than restrict them to attic stock, leftovers, or 'used' options. Or, go used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-1-Surround...AOSw9GhYbXR U Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

I think one of the items available was an HD tuner that could plug into that. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

I still think you should get the ideal receiver from every other aspect, then add an HD tuner to it. This will multiply your options for either item and allow future upgrades to either item.

"root" wrote in message news This is going to be hard to believe, but I am in the market for a new receiver and I want one with HD radio tuner. The people What For? HD Radio sucks like Raeanne on a big black dick. at Best Buy, and the Magnolia group within Best Buy don't seem to understand what HD fm tuner is. Knowing that the Denon 3313CI (discontinued) had the HD tuner capability I went online to Denon and tried to find a current model that has HD tuner capability: I could find none, so I called Denon and they gave me a list, really a list of every one of their current models. I could find no mention of HD tuner on any of the models. Did I forget to mention that HD Radio sucks? I found a Sony STRDDH770 which, according to Best Buy, does have an HD tuner. I bought the thing, hooked it up, and there is no HD tuner, nor is there an HD tuner in the next model up STRDN1070 It probably has an HD radio tuner. It's possible that it can't pick up any signals because HD radio is weak (because it sucks) and it's also possible that the radio stations in your area shut off their HD radio exciters (because HD Radio sucks) My question here is can anyone suggest a (reasonably) priced receiver that has at least 4K pass-through and an fm HD tuner? So you want 4K pass through and HD Radio? Why not throw in a built 8-Track player as well? 4K is current technology. HD Radio is so 2008. Thanks. You're welcome. |

This will multiply your options for either item and allow future upgrades to either item. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA It also allows you to delete options as well. For Example, when the OP finds that HD radio is nothing but the same lame FM analog stations in digital format and the subchannels are just AM rebroadcasts, then he can take a hammer to the HD tuner and not a $1000 dollar surround sound receiver. |
