Realize the full potential of high-definition digital radio technology
with the Boston Acoustics Receptor Radio HD, an AM/FM clock radio that
delivers brilliant CD-quality sound. The next-generation tabletop
device not only radically upgrades the performance of traditional
analog AM/FM signals, but also receives digital broadcasts and their
associated wireless data services over existing AM/FM radio bands. The
result is spectacularly brilliant clarity, fidelity, and room-filling
sound never before heard on any radio of any size.
Digital HD radio broadcasting represents a revolution in radio
listening by ushering in a boundless array of entertainment and
information possibilities. Across the country, AM and FM radio stations
are upgrading to digital HD Radio broadcasting, which enhances both the
sound and the programming options. Some stations are broadcasting data
over traditional AM/FM bands, including song titles, artist info,
weather and traffic updates, and more, while others are broadcasting
digital "multicast" channels with alternative programming. The Receptor
Radio HD sorts it all out to bring you your favorite current
programming, the expanded listening choices, and the song and weather
data--all without requiring a subscription.
The Recepter Radio
HD's impressive audio performance stems from Boston Acoustics' years of
experience in designing and manufacturing high-performance audio
equipment. The key to the radio's topnotch sound is its Boston-designed
wide-range driver, which is optimized specifically for the radio, and
its digitally equalized amplifier outfitted with proprietary BassTrac
circuitry for full, satisfying, distortion-free bass regardless of the
volume level. The audio performance is coupled with the radio's AM/FM
tuner and its 20 easy-to-access station presets. The digital technology
even enhances the AM and FM bands' audio fidelity--AM sounds more like
FM does today, while FM signals boast a CD-like quality. Best of all,
the static, hiss, pops, and fades commonly found on today's radios are
virtually eliminated, ensuring crystal-clear reception.
Adding
to the radio's value are a host of other features that add to your
convenience and enjoyment. The iPod/MP3 player port, for instance,
invites you to share your favorite tunes over the Receptor Radio HD's
high-quality stereo speakers. Meanwhile, the headphone jack lets you
listen to digital HD radio privately so you don't disturb others. You
can also adjust the tuning, volume, and station presets either manually
or with the credit-card-sized remote control. Additional features
include a sleep timer that lets you fall asleep to music; two
independent alarms for waking to music, a beeper, or both; and a power
backup that stores presets and alarm settings should a power failure
occur.
The Receptor Radio HD measures 7.62 by 4.38 by 6.75
inches (W x H x D), while the included second speaker checks in at 4.38
by 4.38 by 6 inches. The entire system is also backed by a one-year
warranty on parts and labor.

BostonAcoustic Receptor HD AM/FM radio delivers a new level of
high-definition sound performance from HD-Station radio broadcasts.
This HD-Radio receives special encoded signals that upgrade sound
performance. AM upgrades to FM fidelity. While FM can deliver CD
quality sound. The technology, developed by Ibiquity-Digital uses new
FCC approved sidebands that allow radio stations to transmit both
HD-Radio and analog radio simultaneously. It differs from Satellite
radio because these signals are transmitted from public accessible
radio stations. At this writing, there are over 700 radio stations
currently using HD AM/FM bands in the USA and, depending where you are,
the Recepter RadioHD can receive them. Multi-line radio display Output
