Cool Looks and Cool Feats for the TEAC HD-1 HD Radio

I bought one of these at Costco as soon as I heard it... it picked up the HD stations even while inside the warehouse. Sound is very good; we played it next to a Bose Wave radio (the old kind with the CD player on top) and we honestly think this sounds better than the $300-$400 Bose. I got it for the radio, I don't own an Ipod... but I do own a small mp3 player, and yes, I can play it through the radio using the AUX input just fine... so not only can I confirm it has an AUX in, it has a single plug VIDEO OUT as well.

For the quality of sound when NOT playing HD stations, it is a better radio than a Bose. Add on the HD radio sound quality, HD stations not available to the analog players... and I suppose the Ipod dock would be useful to others and this quickly becomes a fantastic radio. Also, getting it on sale for a C-note was a big plus; thank you Costco!

I hope your reference to HD radio does not mean "high definition"? Because HD does not mean high definition, even though you mention it that way. HD means HD , just that

Agree the Tech HD-1 is one great gadget and well worth the money. $99 at Costco and I've been using it for a year now. But I do not use it for what it is intended for, a table top clock radio. I use is as desk radio at work, it has really great sound at normal or low volume. The HD with 20 presets gives me a real verity in music and most HD 2 and 3 channels run way less commercials and normally no DJ talk. It is too large for a night stand alarm clock and the clock has problems, not displayed while using any function. But at work, seeing song titles and artist info is great. Tagging a song you like is no more than a press of a button, then after work at home on computer you can take time to review and maybe buy what you liked that day at work. Docking IPod, or I phone makes it the perfect place on desk for items, while charging and/or using 2nd gadget if you want. I think the only drawback is antenna (not supplied), with better signal level the sound gets better, deeper base, better highs, and with the EQ setting you can get good sounding music or news for the money. I work in a metal building so signal is week, so sounds are poor quality. I put a simple Omni FM antenna outside with an old TV cable, got full 5 bars on HD indicator and BINGO, Great HD Radio. The only thing I would like changed on unit is a front panel ear phone jack, so when my office is totally nuts with noisy workers, I can plug in ear bugs, drown out the annoying chatter, and keep working in my space. It does have a front panel mute button, so one touch and you can pay attention to visitors as they approach, then touch and return to your music when contact is complete.
