Re: [IRCA] HD Radio for sale at J&R

["Tim Kridel" <tkridel@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just ordered a Cambridge SoundWorks 740. That model has been around for at
least three years, which is pretty long in the tooth for a consumer
electronics device, so I figured that pretty soon, they'll be coming out
with a model that supports HD, XM or Sirius.

Subject: [IRCA] HD Radio for sale at J&R


HD Radio on the market. I've been watching the press for the first signs of
a HD radio available for sale to "anyone" (not just broadcasters and media
people who have some kind of 'inside track' on availability) and it seems
that Boston Acoustics has the fastest horse out of the gate.

In today's (Thu 15 Dec) New York Times on page C10 is a full page ad by J&R
Music World. Their Portable Audio listings, of which there are 9 items,
includes the BA HD offering, along with CD, MP3, Ipod products, and also a
Grundig 6400A all- band portable $99 receiver.

The BA ad says "Boston Acoustics Receptor Radio (r) HD stereo Digital HD
AM/FM Radio.
HD Tuner. Multi-line Display. Input for
Ipod and other sources. Bass-Trac circuitry.
20 AM-FM presets. 2 alarms." - Just Arrived.
Free ground shipping on this item. $499.00.
Item BA RADIOHD-PL.

The device is a rectangular box, appears roughly 6 x 12 inches front x maybe
8 inches deep (but hard to visually scale it).
There is a circular speaker grille on the left and a rectangular display
window on the right with 2 rotary knobs and an aux device that appears to be
a remote control.

It actually is my kind of device - simple, functional, no-nonsense styling.
Just is not quite my kind of pricing. I think a buck-and-a-half would get my
attention.

But, to answer "where are the receivers", let the games begin. J&R is at
800-221- 8180, 212-238-9000, www.jr.com.
