5.0 out of 5 stars Quality and design, December 30, 2002

Excellent designed FM-AM-TV receiver.
Its sensitivity by far surpases more expensive units like the Bose Wave Radio.
Its features are user friendly and very well defined: rotary tunning knob, direct access buttons, up and down tunning buttons, and tone control that mostly emphasizes treble.
Bass seems to be contoured electronically in some kind of loudness emphasis that it's not switchable.
Overall the sound is very good, well defined, solid and powerful, filling a room easily.
The 5" full range speakers includes a center mounted 1.5" twetter that is evident when adjusting the tone control.
The minus point is that the sound quality does not match that of the Wave Radio, but it cost nearly a quarter of its price!
I also own a Tivoli PAL, but the Q Radio sounds a lot better and has a best defined soundstage, with no fatigue at all after hours of hearing.
At last, the looks: it's the most beautiful piece of equipment I've seen in a long time, the quality inside reflects in the outside.
Overall, you can't go wrong with this radio. It's real value for money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sagean Q has serious faults as a clock radio., February 6, 2003

This review is from: Sangean PR-D2 AM/FM/TV Stereo Digital Q-Radio (Gold) (Electronics)

I purchased the Sangean Q for use primarily as a clock radio. The problem is that when the radio comes on to wake me up, the time does not display, just the station frequency. To see the time, you must turn off the radio. I'm in the habit of listening to the radio for a while before getting out of bed, and I don't want to have to keep reaching over to turn the radio off and on to check on the time. Another problem is that the display is angled up so that it can only be read from above. Therefore, if the radio is located next to the bed on a nightstand, it cannot be read by someone lying in bed.

On the positive side, it has excellent tone and station holding properties and looks nice, although the wood panels on the sides of the gray version (comes in gold or gray)don't appear to have any finish, making me wonder if they will becomed soiled too easily.

My experience with the supplier was not good. The first Sangean Q I received did not work correctly, and it took two telephone calls, a trip to the UPS dropoff center, and three weeks to get a replacement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Q Radio and LCD Problem, June 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sangean PR-D2 AM/FM/TV Stereo Digital Q-Radio (Gold) (Electronics)

I have had this radio for over a year, and I like it a lot. But it did have the problem described in an earlier review, in that the LCD display failed after a year and the radio became unusable. Sangean USA replaced the radio even though it was out of warranty, which was great, but was also a indication that the radio has a recurrent problem. I am planning to buy another one, but wanted to assure that the problem would not recur. I emailed Sangean, and they acknowledged the problem in earlier production units. They say it has been fixed for later production units, so according to Sangean the design problem has been resolved.
