change. Therefore, subprograms and
program info shown in illustrations and
descriptions contained in this manual may
differ from the subprograms and program
info delivered by the radio station.
Switching to HD Radio
i Since HD Radio stations are embedded in

is very similar to analog AM/FM radio
operation. In this chapter, only the
functions that differ from the normal FM
radio functions are described separately.
Analog AM/FM radio operation is described
in chapter “Radio” ( Y page 119).
You can de-activate HD Radio for the selected
frequency in the radio submenu.

Tuning to a Station
You can tune to an HD Radio station in the

Radio station. When you tune to a HD Radio
frequency, for a short period of time, the
analog channel is received until the digital
data has been decoded. Only then you will
hear digital radio and be able to switch to a
subprogram (-HD2).

Radio section ( Y page 120).
