Kenwood KTC-HR200 HD Radio Tuner Box Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used to have free XM subscription, and I wasn't impressed with the sound quality
(not trying to flame XM, I understand XM is all about quantity of programs).
Then I read that HD Radio uses 96kbps compression, compare to 48kbps of XM.
I got the KTC-HR200 connected to DDX812 through the "5L" connector.
Sound quality is amazing, it is indeed near CD quality.
I get more bass and clearer treble. I can honestly say it is better than XM,
and it's waayyy better than analog FM, no more hiss and noise.
Unlike RDS where the text scrolls, KTC-HR200 and DDX812 displays title/artist/station-name constantly, it doesn't scroll.
Some stations carry more than 1 HD broadcasts, so there are more programs to listen to.
The negatives:
- I've had KTC-HR200 for 3 weeks now, and twice I got the memory presets lost issue
others reported. So it's NOT everytime I turned off/on the car.
- KTC-HR200 is huge! Dimension is (W/H/D): 6 1/2, 1 3/8, 4 5/16 inch.
Think of where you want to install it before you buy.
- The module gets hot even when the head unit plays something else (CD for example). How hot does it get? Adult can probably stand it, but I wouldn't want my 3 years old kid to touch it.
- The installation manual says "Do not install the unit near the dashboard, the rear deck, or other important components." I wonder if it's related to the "hot" issue above. It recommends you to install it on the carpet.
- It doesn't support iTune tagging.
- It takes about 4 to 6 second before it can lock onto the HD broadcast. During this time, you'll hear analog version of the broadcast. I'm not sure if this is HR200 issue or if it's a characteristic of every HD Radio receiver.
- If reception is bad, it fails to lock onto the HD broadcast. Or it may switch back and forth between analog FM and HD.
The improvement in sound quality far outweighs the negatives.
Especially if you listen a lot to classical or jazz programs,
you'll enjoy it much much more.

Dual CD770 Motorized AM/FM/CD MP3 Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great radio until the wiring gets damaged from repeated face opening and closing. Controls would operate only while face was closed, but in that position you couldn't see the display to see what you were doing. Mine lasted almost 2 years before becoming useless.

Boss BV2650UA DVD Player with USB and Memory Card Ports Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this DVD player so that I could finally retain memory & not have to skip back to the scene that was on before we turned off the car. For that, it worked perfect; however, there are two other issues that forced me to return the DVD player. The biggest being poor video quality & scroll lines that I could not get to go away. I am an advanced installer and I know there were no install issues (which can commonly cause problems like this through a bad ground). No matter what I did, the scroll lines remained. Another issue we had was intermittent times where the unit would not respond to the remote control. We could have lived with that issue but the display issues were too bad to live with, so I had to return this product. If you're not concerned with video quality or scroll lines, this might be a good DVD player for you; otherwise I would recommend buying something else.
